Internet Download Manager Full Version
Internet Download Manager (IDM) is a tool to increase download speeds by up to 500 percent, resume and schedule downloads.
Comprehensive error recovery and resume capability will restart broken or interrupted downloads due to lost connections, network problems, computer shutdowns, or unexpected power outages. Simple graphic user interface makes IDM user friendly and easy to use.
Internet Download Manager has a smart download logic accelerator that features intelligent dynamic file segmentation and safe multipart downloading technology to accelerate your downloads.
During the download process Internet Download Manager segments downloaded files dynamically, unlike other download accelerators and managers that segment files before the download starts Internet Download Manager reuses available connections without additional connect and login stages to achieve better acceleration performance.
Internet Download Manager supports proxy servers, ftp and http protocols, firewalls, redirects, cookies, directories with authorization, MP3 audio and MPEG video content processing, and a large number of directory listing formats.
IDM integrates seamlessly into Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape, MSN Explorer, AOL Explorer, Opera, Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Firebird, Avant Browser, MyIE, Google Chrome, and all other popular browsers to automatically handle your downloads.
You can also drag and drop files, or use Internet Download Manager from command line. Internet Download Manager can dial your modem at the set time, download the files you want, then hang up or even shut down your computer when it's done.
Other features include multilingual support, zip preview, download categories, built-in download accelerator, scheduler pro, sounds on events, HTTPS support, queue processor, pipelining of ftp commands, html help and tutorial, enhanced virus protection on download completion, progressive downloading with quotas (useful for connections that use some kind of fair access policy or FAP like Direcway, Direct PC, Hughes, etc.), command line parameters, and many others.

About WinRAR
This little archiver has a very practical user interface. You can easily reduce the size of the buttons which offer you the basic operations for an archive: extract, test, repair, find, etc.
The menus offer access to important archive commands (like extract, test, comment, protect, lock), but also other important tools such as scan, convert or benchmark and hardware test.
The options are not as numerous as in WinZip and WinAce, but like all other aspects of WinRAR, they are practical and cover the basic needs for properly configuring an archiver.
WinRAR supports the following file formats: rar, zip, cab, arj, lzh, ace, 7-zip, tar, gzip, uue, bz2, jar, iso, z and will compress files to .rar, .zip and to self-extracting .exe
Compression
With WinZip out of the picture from the beginning and WinAce winner only for video files, you can easily guess what the results were for WinRAR. It's quite amazing what this small app can do to your uncompressed files. During testing not only did it have a much faster compression speed than WinAce, but the file sizes were a lot smaller too. This makes WinRAR the winner in the battle for smaller files in the shortest time possible.
About WinZip
Probably the archiver everyone has heard about, WinZip presents itself as a very user friendly and easy to use application. The main screen has a simple interface, with buttons for the most important functions at the top. Although the buttons (as functionality, but also as design) are very good choices, the fact that they're not customizable (you cannot remove the text or make them smaller) is an important minus. The first thing you'll notice missing will probably be the file browser. You cannot browse through your computer inside WinZip; if you want to open an archive, you'll have to use the Open button (or CTRL+O).
The menus in WinZip are not very well balanced. Browsing through them, you will surely realize that the only one you'll use often is Actions. The Actions menu contains all important functions of WinZip: adding, deleting, viewing, extracting an archive and also other tools such as: Virus scan, split, encrypt, test, make .exe, UUenconde, etc.
The
configuration window covers view, toolbar, system, explorer enhancements, program locations and other miscellaneous options. Displayed in tabs and therefore very easy to browse, the options cover the essential aspects of the program's configuration.
Currently, WinZip's 10th major version supports the following file formats: arc, arj, b64, bhx, cab, gz, hqx, lzh, mim, tar, taz, tgz, tz, uu, uue, xxe, z and zip. But, and this is where WinZip loses a lot of ground, it will archive files only to the zip format.
Compression
The keyword for WinZip on this chapter is: Speed! This is the only thing WinZip is really good at. In all tests, for video, audio, image and text, WinZip was the winner on compression time. The video was compressed 3 times faster (at maximum compression) and even 5 times faster (at normal compression). The audio and image files took longer to compress using PPMd (maximum) compression and less with bzip2 (again maximum), although for the video file it was the other way around, but in the end, the fastest compression will beat the WinAce time and, of course, WinRAR. Even for text files the difference is noticeable: at maximum compression WinZip finishes 1-2 seconds earlier and at normal compression even 3 seconds earlier.
