About Internet Download Accelerator

Internet Download Accelerator speeds up HTTP, HTTPS and FTP downloads by splitting a file into several parts and fetching them at the same time. It resumes interrupted downloads from where they stopped and helps organize downloaded files.

It integrates with browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Vivaldi and Yandex.Browser, replacing their built-in download handling, and watches the clipboard for URLs. Plug-ins and skins are available, and a Pro edition adds further features.

  • Resumes broken downloads

  • Detects download links in the clipboard
