Internet Download Manager 5.11 Review

Its speed is just like any other download manager but it is more usable than Download Accelerator Plus (DAP) and other ad-supported or trial based download manager. Plus, it doesn't try to download everything but recognise the type of file first unlike DAP that tries to download html file that ends with .exe or .zip (go to Sourceforge.net test this out).

I have another 7 days to go but I believe IDM stands on its own rank.

However, IDM doesn't have all the features I wanted to. I can't specify how many concurrent downloads I can make according to sites and if there's site that doesn't support download manager, I have to manually turn off link tracking options in IDM and that is cumbersome to me.

Overall, IDM is a good download manager but the options available are not enough for my itchy hands.

Note: I don't use it to download FLV because I found myself loving to use Techcrunch Youtube link grabber (or any online alternative).

Here you go: 7/10
What I think: Good enough to be used but not advanced enough. Faster to load than DAP. Speed, like any other download managers.
