Download Managers are the most important features of any Operating System. In fact the first and foremost thing that I install after installing an Operation System is a download manager. The good news is that there is a wonderful download manager for Windows which is absolutely free. This software is called as Free Download Manager.

Free download manager has the following features which makes it a very powerful download manager.

  1. FDM increases the download speed by splitting the files and downloading them simultaneously and then joining the split files after all the files are downloaded. This boosts up the downloading speed up to 600%.

  2. FDM supports resuming of broken downloads and hence you don’t lose your download.

  3. FDM not only supports HTTP and FTP but also Bittorrents.

  4. Download FLV files: FDM also supports downloading of flash based video files from popular sites like youtube.

  5. Not only does it have a download manager but also you can upload files and share with your friends.

  6. You can also organize and schedule your downloads.

  7. Great part is that you can drag and drop download links in the drop box
    that’s available after you install FDM.

  8. FDM is totally free under GNU GPL license.

  9. It also has traffic usage mode vis-Ã*-vis light, medium and heavy traffic. This means that you just have to select one of the mode depending on the Internet connection speed
