Battle Which is better: IDM or Xtreme Download Manager?

[Kent]

IDM and Xtreme Download Manager both share similarities in UI and function........
Which you think is better Paid or free one?

 

[Oxygen]

Well, I think free would be better because it doesn't require you to pay for anything.

 

[Flyren]

Xdm has many bugs.

Internet download manager is the best of all download mangers but is not free

 

[frogboy]

Internet download manager has served me well for many years.

 

[jackuars]

You are better off using a free one, than going for a paid version. XDM is quite good.

internet download manager gets flagged on virus total :

https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/...8160090f61d62d70def27dce/analysis/1411439838/

never the less i would use internet download manager made by tonec inc., a company with an office address

rather than using xtreme download manager made by some one called subhra das gupta from god knows where

The product is open-source, so you've access to the code and he is Indian..

[الشمس]

so what???

the question was for jackuars who specified that the developer is an indian.

how does the developer's nationality matter?

That was the answer to the question you asked here

rather than using xtreme download manager made by some one called subhra das gupta from god knows where

The dev is quite active and respond's to user's requests, and a nice guy.

 

[الشمس]

i re-phrase myself :

i would trust a company like tonec inc., a company with an office address...

rather than a sole developer irrespective of what his nationality is

http://sourceforge.net/ is a great platform for aspiring / wannabe developers & that is good for them...

but i use nothing from sourceforge or for that matter nothing that is opensource

which is why i prefer windows over ubuntu & windows phone over android

it is just a matter of personal choice & i was stating just that

Hi All,

This is the developer of XDM.

I was too a fan of IDM till my trial license expired.
Thought a free application that shares the similar functionality will be helpful to the folks like me who doesn't want to spend money on a download manager.
I would suggest go for IDM if you really want to buy it. Else XDM is there.
As for the bugs of XDM, I am trying my best to make it more robust and functional. For that I need support and feedback from you guys.

Really!. There are several popular application like Chrome, FileZilla, 7 -Zip (even FDM) are open source.

Hi, subhro finally you're here.

You should start a thread about Xtreme Download Manager in this forum. Similar to Download Ninja (Official Updates Thread) to gain more visibility.

As subhro mentioned, there are very many open-source applications around, and why would you trust a product more that doesn't provide you with the source codes, than the one that provides you the same. LOL

If anything that could be sneaky would be the ones that doesn't provide.
