About Internet Download Manager
Internet Download Manager (IDM) is a Windows download accelerator. It segments files dynamically while they download and reuses open connections, which it claims speeds up downloads by up to eight times. Broken or interrupted downloads, caused by lost connections or unexpected shutdowns, can be repaired and resumed.
IDM can organise and schedule downloads, grab files from sites and capture streaming video. Browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox and Edge hand downloads over to the program. It is paid software with a 30-day trial that needs no email or card.
