INTERNET DOWNLOAD MANAGER IS THE MOST POPULAR DOWNLOAD ACCELERATOR. HOWEVER, IT'S PRICING AND CLOSED SOURCE NATURE MAKES IT HARD FOR SOME USERS TO PREFER. AND FOR THOSE YOU PREFER FREE AND OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE (MYSELF INCLUDED) THERE IS A BETTER ALTERNATIVE FOR THIS. THE 'FREE DOWNLOAD MANAGER' I HAVE BEEN USING IT FOR A LONG TIME AT THIS POINT. I THINK IT IS TIME TO SHARE IT. ENJOY!

00:00Alright what's up Amayan and today we are going to be talking about Free Download Manager which is literally the
00:06most powerful, modern and the best alternative to Internet Download Manager.
00:11So the best part about this software is that it comes with no adware, no malware and it is 100
00:17% free.
00:18It has lots of features which may not be found in Internet Download Manager but I have not used Internet
00:25Download Manager for ages.
00:26So to get Free Download Manager all you have to do is go to this link and hit download button,
00:33hit save and your download will be starting.
00:36If you are using another software like Mac OS, Android, Linux you can get Free Download Manager for this as
00:45well.
00:46But this Free Download Manager is not available on iOS so make sure you keep it in mind.
00:53Well I will also be showing you how to download and use Free Download Manager Android in my next video.
01:00So after you have downloaded the software, simply open it up and the installer will continue.
01:08I am using the install for our users, say yes to the prompts and the installer will begin the installation
01:15process.
01:15I already installed the Free Download Manager that is why it is showing me that it was already available.
01:22But still I am installing it again just to demonstrate its use and purpose.
01:29Ok now let's wait for the installation to complete.
01:32And now Free Download Manager is now installed on my computer.
01:37So let's finish this setup and open up the Free Download Manager.
01:43It is right here.
01:45Let's maximize the window.
01:47And also before using it I highly recommend that you change these settings that I always do.
01:53Make sure it is up to date and go to your preferences right from there.
01:59And change these settings to get the maximum download speed possible.
02:04Dark theme the good one.
02:07Also it does have a new user interface which I really don't like because it is available in beta only.
02:14So I am going with the classic theme.
02:18Ok so after this we need to download the browser integration extension.
02:25So if you are using Microsoft Edge you can hit the Edge button right here and download.
02:31And it will open up Edge and you will get the extension immediately.
02:35But in my case I am not going to be using Microsoft Edge.
02:39If you are using Google Chrome or Firefox those options are available for you as well.
02:44Also I am using Brave browser so I have to go with the Brave option and hit add to Brave.
02:51This extension will download and now whenever you start downloading stuff on your browser.
02:58It will automatically go into the free download manager and your download will continue.
03:02However if you do not want to use it you can simply click on the extension and pause the downloads.
03:08Or enable if you do not want to download the specific website.
03:13Just pause downloads and stop downloads.
03:15The options are always in the extensions.
03:17So in the traffic limits I actually go with the unlimited option to get the maximum download speed.
03:24If your internet is struggling you can change it or limit your download.
03:31But number of connections I always go with maximum.
03:35I will go with 50,000.
03:37I don't know why it just makes me feel good.
03:40So in number of servers you can only go as high as 20.
03:46So I go with the maximum number as always.
03:51For simultaneous download I prefer downloading one at a time.
03:55So I change it to one.
03:57But this is your own choice.
03:59But my favorite settings are this one which I am doing right now.
04:04This is the optimization for maximum speed possible.
04:08So change it as you prefer.
04:11It does have remote access but I am not going to show you this time.
04:15You can download from your phones and it will automatically download on your laptop.
04:20I made cover this in my another video so.
04:25So nothing to change right here.
04:27Now let me show you how you can use it.
04:29First of all let's download something.
04:32I am downloading windows 11 for this.
04:34Because it is a huge file and downloading it is a pain.
04:39Ok so whenever you do this.
04:44Selecting the windows 11 ISO image file.
04:47Let's see how my FDM catches this download and.
04:51We should also compare the speed.
04:55However it does have a very specific feature which I really love about free download manager is that.
05:02It helps you if your connection is unstable or something is wrong with your internet connection.
05:07If you download stop you can actually re-download it without having to re-download the whole file.
05:13Let me show you what I mean.
05:15Ok this is how you can download it.
05:18If your download is failed you can simply go back to the link and download again.
05:22You will be given the option to download and skip.
05:24I recommend if you press the skip button it will automatically resume the download which was failed in the previous
05:30session or whatever.
05:33Ok this is how you can use free download manager.
05:35But what if you do not want to use free download manager and use the browser's local downloader.
05:41Simply pause the download and it will not appear in the free download manager.
05:48And your browser will download it with its own download manager or things like that.
05:54And download is not beginning as you can see.
05:56This is very slow.
05:58That is why I use free download manager instead of the browser's own downloader.
06:04Sometimes the internet is slow and it is not working.
06:06Let me just clear everything and download it again by refreshing the page.
06:12Let's see if the download is any better or not.
06:19Download accelerators are very good if you are into downloading huge files like I do.
06:23So free download manager is the one I recommend instead of the most popular internet download manager.
06:29So this might be the best alternative to internet download manager.
06:35Ok so the download is not beginning.
06:39I don't know why because it is very slow internet connection.
06:44Let's go to downloads and see.
06:47Ok this is here but yeah now it started and it is actually kind a little bit slow but not
06:55that far away from the internet download manager speed.
06:57But still FDM is way better choice than browser zone downloader.
07:03Anyway that's been it.
07:04Thanks for watching and I will catch you guys in the next one.
07:06Take care.
07:07Bye bye.
