Internet Download Manager has a smart download logic accelerator that
features intelligent dynamic file segmentation and safe multipart
downloading technology to accelerate your downloads. Unlike other
download accelerators and managers that segment files before downloading
starts, Internet Download Manager segments downloaded files dynamically
during download process.
Internet Download Manager reuses available connections without
additional connect and login stages to achieve better acceleration
performance. Internet Download Manager supports proxy servers, ftp and
http protocols, firewalls, redirects, cookies, authorization, MP3 audio
and MPEG video content processing. IDM integrates seamlessly into
Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape, MSN Explorer, AOL, Opera,
Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Firebird, Avant Browser, MyIE2, and
all other popular browsers to automatically handle your downloads. You
can also drag and drop files, or use Internet Download Manager from
command line. Internet Download Manager can dial your modem at the set
time, download the files you want, then hang up or even shut down your
computer when it's done.
