    Decent Alternatives to IDM

    Hi,



    I'm facing some issues with IDM (v6.05 Build 8) since my new MTNL connection. My download stops/pauses with 0 kbps download and then doesn't resume.



    This causes problems when u have large files queued in for download at nights. Also theres no pattern in this issue, sometimes the connection is working fine whole night and other times hardly 1 file is downloaded and then if u want to resume the download you just pause and resume the connection.



    So I'm planning to try other download managers (except Jdownloader) supporting various File Hosts.



    Any suggestions please ?

    I use Orbit Downloader. Has worked fine for me. Can't compare it with IDM though as I haven't used IDM

    Re: Decent Alternatives to IDM

    I have faced similar issues with IDM, after one file finishes, the queued files take some time to start , but they do start !!

    this i have done with you-tube videos, resumable and full speed downloads.



    for commercial file hosts, try J-downloader, can replace IDM if u have wait times and need anti-captcha scripts.

    Re: Decent Alternatives to IDM

    IDM does give better speeds than most other DMs out there. What I don't like about it is its Win95-era interface & the fact that it is paid.



    I'd rather use the combination of FDM + JDownloader + uTorrent for specific type of downloads. Nothing beats JD when it comes to downloading from filesharing sites. They even have plugins to solve ReCaptcha using a mutual point-based system.

    Bitcomet - odd choice but it max out my connection for http downloads and picks up torrents quite fast (faster than utorrent) and has a resume option.

    Re: Decent Alternatives to IDM

    I use a Firefox extension called DownThemAll. Has resume support for all HTTP downloads. Works with premium file sharing memberships and gives consistent speeds.

    Re: Decent Alternatives to IDM

    Many times I tried to use DownThemAll but failed.

    Most of the time I tried to download anything using it download some trash HTML files.

    This is difficult for a nub like me.
