fg.jpgSoftonic is all about downloading so it's natural that we should pick out the quickest, safest and sleekest download managers for you. What you're looking for in a download manager is a program that will automate the process, relieve bandwidth usage and organize how files are being downloaded.

Most of the apps we cover here offer features like download scheduling, automatic disconnect after download, batch downloading and speed optimization. If you tend to install lots of new programs, games or videos and music it's probably a good idea to set one up on your PC.

  1. Flashget - The fastest of all download managers
  2. Download Accelerator Plus - Squeezes the best out of your Internet connection
  3. Internet Download Manager - Works with all major browsers
  4. Orbit Downloader - A light application based on P2P technology
  5. Free Download Manager - A free and solid all around download application
  6. GigaGet - Uses Net Grid technology to increase download speeds 7 to 10 times
  7. Website Ripper Copier - Automatically download all content from a web page
  8. WebZIP - Collect web content to browse it offline
  9. GetRight - Compact but fitted with all the necessary download features

    This List is a scrap. Mass Downloader is far more better than Free download Manager on slow connections. In My Opinion IDM stands 1st....

    Is there any download manager with API to initiate the file download from other application, get the file downloaded details (like path, when it download started and download ended, etc...) Kindly suggest any download manager.....

    YES IDM IS THE BEST AND FASTEST DOWNLOAD MANAGER. I WAS USING IT FROM LONG TIME. I CHOSE IT AFTER TESTING ALL THE ABOVE DOWNLOADER.IT HAS DIFFERENT FESTURES LIKE 1.YOU WILL GET DOWNLOAD VIDEO OPTION ABOVE THE VIDEO IN YOUTUBE ITSELF 2. YOU CAN DIRECTLY REPLACE A FILE WITH A NEW DOWNLOADIF IT IS WITH SAME NAME. 3. YOU CAN HAVE ANOTHER WONDERFUL OPTION SYNCHRONIZING DOWNLOAD. AND ALOT MORE DIFFERENT FEATURES UNLIKE OTHER MANAGERS

    net animal.

    u should use orbit who r voting here for idm. orbit is more faster than idm. and orbit has some functions which idm does not belong like online video recorder etc. and it is free and always will be.

    Flashget is the fastest! You just don't know how to use it! go to tools, options, download settings, speed and choose full speed download. It'll use up bandwith but will go FAST
