Internet Download Manager Overview
Internet Download Manager has a smart download logic accelerator with smart dynamic file segmentation and secure multipart download technology to speed up your downloads. Unlike other download accelerators and managers that segment files before the download starts, Internet Download Manager segments downloaded files dynamically during the download process.
Main features of Internet Download Manager
Download Speed Acceleration
Internet Download Manager speeds up downloads up to 5 times thanks to intelligent dynamic file segmentation technology. Unlike other download managers and accelerators, Internet Download Manager dynamically segments downloaded files during the download process and reuses available connections without additional connection and login steps to achieve the best possible acceleration.
Download files from your favorite sites
After installing the “IDM integration module” browser extension, just keep surfing the Internet and you’ll be amazed how easy it is to download everything you want from your favorite websites.
All popular browsers are supported
IDM seamlessly integrates with Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer, Safari, MSN Explorer, AOL, Mozilla Firebird, Avant Browser, Maxthon and all other popular browsers to handle your downloads automatically.
Easy download with one click
When you click the download link in the browser, IDM takes over the download and speeds it up. You don’t need to do anything special, just browse the Internet as usual. IDM intercepts your downloads and speeds them up. IDM supports HTTP, FTP, HTTPS and MMS protocols.
Dark theme
IDM dark theme shows dark surfaces in most of its interface. It was designed to complement the default (or light) theme. The dark theme reduces the luminance of the screen, but still meets the minimum color contrast ratios. It helps improve visual ergonomics by reducing eye strain, adjusting brightness according to current lighting conditions, and making it easier to use the screen in low light conditions while saving power.
Dynamic segmentation
Internet Download Manager has an optimized file download logic. IDM splits the downloaded file into file segments dynamically, unlike other download accelerators that split the downloaded file into parts once just before the download process starts. Dynamic segmentation significantly improves download performance. When the file download starts, it is unclear how many connections can be opened. When a new connection becomes available, IDM finds the largest segment to download and splits it in half. This way, the new connection starts downloading the file from the side of the largest file segment. IDM minimizes the time needed for negotiations with servers and keeps all connections busy.
Download resume
Internet Download Manager resumes an incomplete download from where it left off. A comprehensive failover and resume feature restarts interrupted or interrupted downloads due to dropped or interrupted connections, network problems, computer shutdowns or unexpected power outages.
Built-in timer
Internet Download Manager can connect to the Internet at a specified time, download the files you want, disconnect or shut down your computer when it’s done. You can also synchronize changes using regular file synchronization. It is possible to create and schedule multiple download queues for downloading or syncing.
IDM includes a website spider and hijacker
IDM downloads all necessary files specified by filters from websites, for example all images from a website or subsets of websites or complete websites for offline browsing. It is possible to schedule multiple grabber projects to run once at a specific time, stop them at a specific time, or run periodically to synchronize changes.
