What works the same as Internet Download Manager

  • Nothing new to learn: the toolbar, the categories and the list of downloads.
  • It reads the command-line switches of Internet Download Manager.
  • It catches downloads from Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera and Vivaldi.
  • Queues and a scheduler to download overnight.
  • It also takes torrents and magnet links.

What is missing

  • The macOS builds are experimental: the author has not tried them on a Mac yet.
  • Windows may warn you the first time, because this early version isn't code-signed yet.

How to get started

  1. On the download page, pick the file for your system.
  2. On Windows, take the setup file: it installs the program, connects it to your browser and asks your language. If you prefer, the portable zip runs without installing.
  3. On a Mac, the experimental dmg: open it and drag MDM to Applications. On Linux, use the AppImage, the deb or the rpm.
