It has some of the features like accelerating download speeds, schedule a download, setting speed limits, refreshing expired downloads, importing downloads from one download manager to EagleGet. This is a lightweight download manager which is only available in Windows with its own malware checker so it does not require any separate anti-virus protection like IDM.
So there are some of the basic alternatives of the IDM that have been introduced in the market for the benefit of users or customers, namely, JDownloader, EagleGet, FlashGet, uGet, Download Ninja and many more. So even when my internet connection broke while downloading that software, whenever the network is back to normal, the download was resumed automatically or even we can resume the download and the download will be proper, it won’t hamper the download at all.Īs I wrote about the pros of the IDM, one main con of this software is that it is only available to Windows users. But IDM has options of pausing and resuming which makes it unique from downloading via any direct browsers.
To understand this, let me give you an example, suppose my internet connection breaks in between my work and I was downloading software of 400 MB and it will be later seen as the link broken or not downloaded if a network is resumed.
One very important feature of the IDM is it does not gets disturbed by the network disturbances or network failures.
