What works the same as Internet Download Manager

  • The same window: menus, a toolbar with Add URL, Scheduler and Grabber, and categories on the left.
  • Splits each download into up to 32 connections, even while it runs.
  • Shows the file size and where it will be saved before the download starts.
  • Opens IDM batch files (.ef2) and lists of links, and runs queues on a schedule.
  • Catches downloads from your browser with an extension.
