Internet Download Accelerator (IDA) can integrate a toolbar with Firefox to make downloading files easy. The advanced download scheduling feature only works through the use of a plugin. The browser extension works with Chrome and Firefox. It can also be installed on Linux, Android, and macOS 10.12 and later. The latest version of this program runs on Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8, and Windows 7. In addition to the above, you can preview and convert audio and video files before they're finished downloading, set traffic limits, create a portable version of the app, and schedule downloads to occur on certain days only.
You can create batch downloads, download torrents, preview ZIP files before they're downloaded and even deselect files you don't want from the compressed folder, download entire websites, resume broken downloads, run automatic virus checks on downloads, quickly control the bandwidth allocation for all downloads, and download all links from the clipboard.ĭownloads are performed in the order they are listed in FDM, but you can move files up or down the list to set their priority. It can monitor and intercept downloads from web browsers, but can also work independently.
This free download manager is called (you guessed it!) Free Download Manager (FDM). Your antivirus program might identify the software as malicious and block it from installing or being used correctly.
