Have you ever feel that when you want to download videos, pdf, images, or even games that have a large size of file size, such as GTA V, Call of Duty, etc? Sometimes, when we really need to download something important, we get easily mad because of how slow our the progress is. However, what if there was a tool that will help us to download something to become much faster without having to change our internet provider, internet package, or even upgrading your mobile device to be able to be compatible with 5G to get a faster mbps rate. And actually there is a tool that is able to those things, which is called Internet Download Manager (IDM).

Internet Download Manager (IDM) is a tool that manages and schedule downloads. It can use full bandwidth and it has recovery and resume capabilities to restore the interrupted downloads due to lost connection, network issues, and power outages[1]. This tool can increase the download speed by up to five times[2]. Therefore, if you were someone who are frequently downloads files especially large files, it is better to use IDM to download the files so that you don’t have to wait for a long time for the files to be downloaded.

Maybe the disadvantage of this tool is that you have to pay in order to use that tool. However, I think the price for the tool is quite reasonable. Below is the pricing for the IDM.
