Help & Info about Internet Download Manager for Windows

  • What does Internet Download Manager do?

    The Internet Download Manager is a handy tool which optimises your file downloads. Thanks to it, you can download and organise your files at top speeds. If you are into planning ahead and compartmentalising your Internet traffic, you can also schedule your download to begin and pause automatically at specific times.

  • Can I pause and resume my downloads?

    Yes, Internet Download Manager lets you resume interrupted downloads without any loss of data. This feature makes it exceptionally useful and flexible, especially when you are working with extra large files which may take a while to download, or in case your connection is not the most stable.

  • How does Internet Download Manager speed up my downloads?

    The download manager is able to reach such good speeds by creating multiple connections to the same server. It then breaks up the target archive into chunks and downloads each of them separately, thereby greatly increasing the overall download speed. In the end it packs the file back up into a single entity for your enjoyment.

  • Will Internet Download Manager work with my firewall?

    Yes, the software is fully integrable with any and all your Internet security settings, so that you do not have to compromise between safety and download comfort.

  • Is Internet Download Manager legal?

    Internet Download Manager is a legal software add-on for your browser. However, keep in mind that you are responsible for ensuring that the images, videos, and other files you download with it are not copyright-protected. In addition, the usual caution should be applied to downloading any content created and assembled by others - just exercise your best judgment!

  • Can I download embedded videos with Internet Download Manager?

    Yes, the application has the ability to grab embedded videos from most websites. Just drag and drop the address into the download manager window and select the quality, at which you want the video to be saved on your hard disk.

  • What other files can I download with Internet Download Manager?

    The manager does not discriminate - high download speeds for all!

  • What operating systems are compatible with the Internet Download Manager?

    This is a Windows-based program. It runs on any version of Windows which is still in operation, as its somewhat retro look also suggests: the outsized buttons and the overall look of the application will surely remind the older among us of the classic Windows 95 aesthetic.

  • In what browsers can I integrate Internet Download Manager?

    The download manager is readily useable with all popular browsers which Windows supports, including but not limited to Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Opera. If the browser runs under Windows, it is safe to assume the Manager runs with it, too.

  • Is Internet Download Manager free?

    No, you have to pay in order to make full use of the software. However, it is head and shoulders ahead of the most popular free options out there, so it is definitely worth shelling out a little bit of cash to reap considerable benefits.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
