FDM - Free Download Manager

Free Download Manager (FDM) is a download manager for Windows and macOS designed to make large downloads faster and more reliable, without the cost of paid alternatives like IDM. It gives you control over traffic usage, lets you organize downloads into categories, and manages file priorities for torrents so the files you need most finish first.

FDM claims to boost download speeds by up to 10 times over a standard browser download by splitting files into segments and downloading them in parallel. It also supports resuming interrupted downloads - a useful safety net if your connection drops partway through a large file - and can process popular media formats directly.

Browser integration is built in for Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer, and Safari, so you can drag and drop URLs straight from your browser into FDM, or download multiple files simultaneously without manually queuing each one. For anyone regularly downloading large files, ISOs, or torrents, FDM is a free way to get IDM-like acceleration and reliability.
