It supports resuming downloads, sniffing video and audio, and can take over any browser. It also features site crawling, batch download queues, scheduled downloads, automatic file name recognition, silent downloads, and support for downloading from network drives.

  • Dynamic file segmentation for faster download speed

 

When other external factors are the same, IDM's dynamic file segmentation and multiple download point technology can achieve a download speed that is 5 times that of ordinary download tools, achieving a G transmission download speed.

 

  • Automatically capture links

 

IDM can automatically capture download links and add download tasks when downloading files using a browser. It is also compatible with browsers including Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Microsoft Edge, and Internet Explorer. If the browser you use is no longer supported by IDM by default, you can also customize it to meet your needs.
