My Internet Download Manager license has expired. It was the best download manager i've ever used. I'm looking for some free and good alternatives... any ideas?
Any real IDM alternative in 2022?

The best one i found so far is free download manager but it has a torrent client built in. I would still recommend IDM though, just renew your licence if you can afford it.
XDM it's open source and real alternative to idm
Xtreme Download Manager | XDMAN | XDM Home
Xtreme Download Manager (XDM), Fastest Download Manager/accelator and video downloader

I've used FDM as well for a few years with no issues either. There are probably other software users here recommend that work as well. 
Decided to try out FDM. Installed the browser add-on as well in Firefox.
The issue I am having is that it does not intercept the downloads. This option is checked in the settings as well.
So I installed a Download manager that does not download anything.

There is an issue with firefox i think, they didn't write the browser extension properly to intercept downloads, for chromium based browsers the browser addon works great.
interface just like idm, open source ? prolly no, the best free downloader (setup File 850 KB ! )
firefox addon
FDM is intercepting downloads in EDGE so looks like it is a compatibility issue with Firefox.
I use IDM, and the one most like it is XDM
IDM is the best, I have tried everything else but none of them are as good as IDM. Why did you go for yearly license, just get the Lifetime license. I got the IDM lifetime license for 3 devices around 7 years ago and it is working fine and getting all the latest updates.
Very similar to idm in all aspects
Ty for all your help guys. I'm trying XFM and FDM at the moment. I may give neatdownloadmanager a chance too.
Give it a try Neat Download Manager
