IDM, the fastest on my Fiber (yet I tested several)

IDM, the fastest on my Fiber (yet I tested several)

Same
But there are other decent ones like jdownloader
I’m actually stared using it over idm because of scripts an captcha bypass
so that along with buster extension and FastForward make the internet way easier to use

I'm using the Pro version of Internet Download Accelerator, because it lets you check for updates for any downloads you select. If any of the selected downloads have more recent versions, it will download them. It's certainly not the fastest downloader, but the only alternative with that feature, as far I know, is FlashGet, which I also use. However, FlashGet crashes a lot when you have hundreds of downloads in its database.

I've used Free Download Manager for awhile. I don't entirely remember the reason why I started using it aside from it not being paid. (Not that's always the best reason ;p) Is the purchase of Internet Download Manager worth it?

Thanks!

I use eagletget and xtreme download manager
let's see if xtreme can replace eagletget because eagleget is generally the fastest for me

IDM is the worst because when it combines download parts, it reduces SSD longevity and it's not the fastest

The first Download manager I used was Getright. Probably the Grand father of all Download Managers.

GetRight was one of the first to able to pause and resume downloads, download from multiple servers to speed up download time (segmented file transfer). Something almost unheard of at the time.

You youngin's don't know the pain of downloading a windows ISO through your browser and at 99% have your internet connection go down.

Not sure why the last release was 2011. I would use it today if they kept updating it regularly and it supported W10. Used Flashget after but updates also stopped in 2012.

At the moment I don't use any, all my downloads just sit in the abyss that is my Downloads folders.

The eagleget DM does not let users download videos anymore. Instead, it shows a html file. its site is also down.

I know. I just use it to download other things
just uninstalled xtreme download manager. It combines file parts just like IDM and made my laptop completely unusable during the process

xtreme and eagletget, do they integrate any browser addons? I want a simple download manager without doing that.

I just tested xtreme download manager, I think it was great
downloaded all the videos on YouTube and elsewhere
i was a test in the Edge browser with the plugin installed
I think it was faster than IDM

 

[Dhruv2193]

Neat download manager is also nice. The only thing is that it does not support video downloads from youtube in chrome browser. Youtube support works only in firefox.

you don't have to install extension
or just disable it until you want to download videos

I am currently using IDM and ANT DM sometimes.

Do people with highspeed internet e.g. Fiber Optic need a download manager? Why?

because the speed from browser is not fast enough an sometimes, the ISP restricts international internet causing incredibly slow download (<100KB/s). Example, me when I download wise disk cleaner, ~100KB/s -> eagleget = >1MB/s
using a download manager can make it faster 10x or more. Still slow but much more acceptable
