File download managers are a group of specialized applications improve the experience when downloading content from the Internet and are especially useful when working with large files or trying to download multiple files at once.
These tools allow you to make the most of the capacity of the Internet connection you have contracted because they use mirror websites to get multiple connections to the same file to speed up the download, or automatically choose between multiple servers that have the file available. for which it offers better stability and performance.
And it is precisely the acceleration of conversions that is a big strength of these applications, but they also have other advantages, as they allow you to automate conversions, schedule them, restore them and generally manage and manage your content better. Another big advantage is his ability resume download voluntarily suspended or interrupted due to server or line errors without losing part of the files downloaded up to that point. In addition, it prevents corruption of unfinished downloads in case of accidental disconnection.
They also enable automate and schedule downloading or uploading at the times we are most interested in, usually outside working hours or at night when the networks are less saturated, in addition, downloading a large number of files at the same time, prioritizing performance over the ones we are most interested in, or limiting the download speed so as not to overwhelm the connection and they allowed us to use the device in functions such as web browsing or others.
Other added benefits of these tools are administration by file type and more accurate information about transfer speed and download time. Some of them offer extra features such as an antivirus to check for malware or a browser to preview video and audio.
There are many, good and free. The web browsers they download from have plugins that can be used, which we’ll see later, but if you want something more complete, there are specialized apps that can be used. We’ll let you pick the best ones for free.
A true classic in download managers that’s been with us for almost 20 years and promises to speed up transfers “between 6 and 10 times”. It includes general download manager functions including anti-virus scanning. You can download from websites, from FTP and even .torrent files, although in this case it is always better to use a dedicated P2P client. To start the download, simply drag the download link into a small window that acts as a minimal interface. An interface that could use an update, although for many it is still the best in the business. You can get it on their website. It also has a portable app and a “classic” version that takes you back fifteen years.
One of the most used especially when working with direct download services and multiple files. An open source platform written in Java with lots of it plugins use, such as splitting into packages so that downloads can be paused and resumed individually. It has captcha recognition, which allows bulk downloads without user intervention. In addition to Windows, it has versions for Linux and Mac. If you use many direct download servers, this is a reference.
Internet Download Accelerator
Also known as IDA, it is a free manager developed by Ukrainian company WestByte. It includes HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP protocol support and provides integration for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, and Safari web browsers. It has a built-in site manager to store usernames and passwords for websites. Users can preview the contents of the RAR file before downloading. Available for all Windows systems.
An open source download manager that supports HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent and Magnet links. It can handle up to 10 downloads at once and 64 threads per job, making downloads faster. It can also “impersonate” different user agents, so it can pretend a computer is an Android or iOS phone and download restricted files from the device. Its interface is simple and modern, and like the previous one, it is completely free.
One of the few file download managers that allows you to write files sequentially. With it, you can listen or watch a video or audio file before the download is complete. It has a built-in video downloader that works with YouTube and Vimeo, as well as a video converter. You can also manage the number of simultaneous connections for a single download. It is promoted as simple, fast and elegant, available for Windows and macOS.
Another of the good download managers (a free alternative to the well-known Internet Download Manager), which can also be used in a portable version on all your Windows devices without the need for installation. Like previous download managers, it increases download speed by splitting the file into parts and connecting from multiple mirror pages, allows you to resume and schedule downloads, video and audio viewer before the download ends, and much more. It includes an HTML Spider feature that allows you to download entire web pages. It has versions for Windows, MacOS, Android and Linux.
As we said above, web browsers can also be used to manage downloads. All browsers have their own tools, but the truth is that they have very little potential, nothing to do with the functions of the installed ones that we have selected above. The ones that come based on third-party plugins that can be used are better. I personally don’t use them because I want to keep my browsers as clean as possible, but if you’d rather use them, here’s a sample:
Chrono download manager (Chrome). Exclusive to the Google browser, it integrates very well with the interface and use of its download system. It includes a “Chrono Sniffer” feature that detects all links, images, audio and video on a web page.
DownThemAll (Firefox). It’s our favorite manager for Mozilla’s web browser and one of the absolute best built-ins you can find. Its integration with Mozilla is seamless, and it even integrates with Firefox’s download menu. It is capable of detecting all media links on a web page (with appropriate filters), automatically downloads them at high speed, and allows them to be summarized.
Video download helper (Firefox and Chrome). Ideal if you’re looking for a program to download the occasional video on the web. It doesn’t work for some Youtube videos, as it usually happens with these managers.
Fruumo download manager. (Chrome) Without such integration as the previous one, it does its job as an administrator in the Google browser with an intuitive interface. Very simple, but downloads, pauses and resumes downloads like others.
