    The ratings in software allot due to the differing opinions. no one can agree on anything for the most part. Some insist this is better and others do not. typical world and most of the opinions in on beta news at least are from uninformed people who just like to crab about anything. This is excellent software, works well, nothing more needs to be said, does what it says it will do.

    IDM is very good, faster then the competition. Most of recent reviews here give it a 4 or 5, but the rating has been 3.4 for months (or years). Why?

    It's a great app, well worth the money.

    But it lacks some basic feature most of it's freeware alternatives have :

    * Option to Shutdown/Restart the system after Queue completes.

    * Way to few options, for example to check downloads by default (why do we always have to check them, we chose to download them, didn't we ?)

    * Remembering of Window sizes.

    * Almost impossible to move files up/down in the Queue.

    * Horrible connection behaviour when downloading reaches 99%+ resulting in requests for only a couple of bytes.

    @ bodean You are dead wrong :)

    IDM is great even if you use High Speed Internet!

    I use IDM all the time when I am downloading lots of files from RapidShare.

    It also makes my downloading way faster!!!

    IDM is a must have if you like to download lots and lots of files! "FAST"
