We tried the quick update function too, which worked like a breeze and basically updated the application with just a single click. It all came down to choosing whether to update or not, and the whole job was done by the integrated updater that automatically
downloaded the new files and installed them on the computer.
The application encases all the features specific to a decent download manager, including drag and drop support, a task scheduler, virus protection, queue processor, HTTPS support, progressive
downloading with quotas, command line parameters, sounds, ZIP preview and proxy servers.
The tests revealed that the CPU and memory footprint is minimal, but this also depends on the download speed and the overall size of the file.
Internet Download Manager is a must have application for many users out there. It will prove itself essential for users who download large files on a regular basis.
