Chosen IDM, Its the best of all Download Managers available. But if u are smart enough and patient to your work then you may go with JDownloader. Some times even IDM fails to recover broken links but JD fails only when file is missing from the server.
Coming to ur poll !
- Resource Usage (eg: CPU, RAM) : I'm not sure what other programs offer at this , but IDM is so light.View attachment 20925 0% CPU Usage; 3MB Approx Ram Usage
- Real World System Impact : None, System responsiveness is stable as it used to be without IDM. But Startup impact says HIGH which may be false or to other reason.
- User Friendliness : All Download Managers are good User Friendly SW's . I believe Download Ninja and IDM are best in that case.
- User Interface : JDownloader has best UI with supportive of themes. I hate IDM UI but i love its work.
- Overall Winner: I feel IDM and JDownloader are equal in acquiring the server speed and since IDM is more easier to use i quote IDM as my winner.
BTW, i really miss IDM in linux :-( .
Its been a long time since i have installed JD in my PC. I dont remember that it consisted of adware or not. Guess it had the Ask Toolbar and some search engine in it. But u can manually disable it while u are installing the software or u can use Unchecky for automatic disabling.Jdownloader comes with Adware softwares bundled, thats not good, before that it was good as far as i remember.
Agree,but installing Java is a riskIts been a long time since i have installed JD in my PC. I dont remember that it consisted of adware or not. Guess it had the Ask Toolbar and some search engine in it. But u can manually disable it while u are installing the software or u can use Unchecky for automatic disabling.
At some means i feel its better than IDM, what ever it may be i lacks the browser integration and automatic startup. With this it requires Java to run the Program.
@BoraMurdar has vast knowledge about JD, as he has shared with me a bunch of it.! I also love JD, but i prefer IDM. But If u ask for free then my choice is JD. Rest all comes with some or the other issue.
