IDM is the only downloading software I have been using since 2006 when I bought my first pc.It is so fast and convenient.Best part of it is the auto detection of download links from web browsers.It interates well into chrome and firefox so that download is so simple, fast and hassle-free.Another thing I like about IDM is the streaming media detection and download feature which is very much useful.Almost all downloads when added to IDM become resumable which is very much helpful when this resume facility is not available with any browser.There are so many freeware download managers out there, but nothing come close to IDM in terms of functionality and speed.
