Internet Download Manager

Internet Download Manager (IDM) is a tool to increase download speeds, resume and schedule downloads. Comprehensive error recovery and resume capability will restart broken or interrupted downloads due to lost connections, network problems, computer shutdowns, or unexpected power outages. Simple graphic user interface makes IDM user friendly and easy to use. Internet Download Manager has a smart download logic accelerator that features intelligent dynamic file segmentation and safe multipart downloading technology to accelerate your downloads. Unlike other download managers and accelerators Internet Download Manager segments downloaded files dynamically during download process and reuses available connections without additional connect and login stages to achieve best acceleration performance.

Thanks Nicks:wave:

That's one of my favorite download managers, used it sometimes through the years.
Would be great to have a payed license for it, don't have it for the moment.

Stepped over a free piece of software recently when searched for offline browsers.
Haven't checked it out but if take a look at Metaproducts home page there is one free to find + a couple of payed ones, don't know how they are to use though.
Softpedia has a list of both free and payed offers as well, perhaps even Snapfiles has something. I like particularly features like pause & resume and some ability in set limits for download speed that's basically the most basic need I'm looking for myself.
Right now I'm locked with a mobile connection to internet with monthly download limit of 10GB per month so I actually don't really able to download that much as could be possible with a broadband and higher speed without limitations. Would be fun to see these download managers in that speed and see what kind of capacity they give compared with what they promise.

I am not sure if my two cents below is allowed to be published here. I just think that IDM is a very popular program so I take the initiative to share it. :pirate: Regardless, if mods or admin feel it is unsafe, don't hesitate to edit my post.

I started using IDM on the last of June and over two months since then, I am still able to use it as an unregistered user. :madgrin: I don't know how but the secret seems to lie on how I update IDM. Even during the 30 days trial period, users are permitted to update IDM to a newer version. Based on the date I see when I open at the About window, I assume that the installation date will be reset everytime we update IDM. I update IDM at least once a month to avoid the trial expiry and the date follows, and so does the trial period. :congratulatory: Again, I don't know but perhaps I can use IDM forever even without applying the required key. :anonymous:

What's new in version 6.12 Final Build 20?

(Released: Sep 26, 2012)

Fixed a bug in Chrome integration module. After IDM update, you will need to restart Google Chrome.
I find the major feature of the latest two builds are IDM extension for Google Chrome. Internet Download Manager version 6.12 Final Build 21 is a quick fix of Build 20 which failed to integrate smoothly with Chrome (after IDM had taken over the download process, Chrome internal download manager still showed up to handle it). The extension itself does not seem to be compatible with other Chromium-based web browser. At least, I, who is using SRWare Iron, discover it leads one-click button for multimedia streaming downloader to cease to appear. The workaround is disabling the extension, which means good for me as it allows me to reduce the memory load from Iron's active module.
