Best download managers for windows 2016

1. Internet Download Manager (IDM)

IDM is the most widely used download managers by internet users. IDM can be integrated in all the popular browsers and it also allows drag and drop downloading feature. It is most efficient in terms of speed, ease of use, modern features, etc. This also serves the purpose of video downloader as it displays download option on the videos that are there on webpages. Moreover it keeps different files in different categories. But it is a shareware, that is it comes with a price, you can use it for one month after which you have to buy IDM.

2. Eagleget

 Eagleget is my personal preference as it is totally free. EagleGet supports all popular browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Opera and IE. EagleGet can automatic update expired download URLs without re-starting from the beginning, saving your time and efforts. It’s worth mentioning that EagleGet is the first freeware download manager that supports this feature. EagleGet uses advanced multi-threaded technology to accelerate downloads by splitting files into several parts and then transferring them simultaneously, thus increase download speed by up to 6 times. EagleGet gives you fine grain control of the downloads. You can schedule multiple download queues, sort downloads by various criteria, implement speed limiting, or even remove unnecessary downloaded files physically. It has also media-grabber feature which can be used to grab online videos.

3. Download Accelerator Plus (DAP)

DAP is another download manager which helps to increase the downloading speed of the files that are being downloaded. If for any reason you are not satisfied with IDM (which is hardly possible) then you should give this a try. DAP accelerates the downloading speed by finding multiple sources to download a single file. It is also having an easy user interface. DAP also serves the purpose of video downloader as one can easily download and preview videos in it. It also allows its users to convert video files to mp3 file.
There is both free version and Premium version of DAP. Free version comes with certain limitations than premium version.

5. Jdownloader 2

 

One needs to make sure they already have Java installed onto their PCs in order to run this app. If this prerequisite is not detected, the application offers to automatically download and install it. The two main targets of JDownloader is to boost the speed of your downloads and to reduce the time it gets to start the download, i.e. locate the link and enter the captcha/password. This program is especially useful if you are accustomed to grab packages stored on file hosting servers which have a delay until the download actually begins. To wrap it up, this application is a valuable help to all those who often rely on webhosting sites to get their downloads, and who might even have Premium accounts on these sites. It lets you quickly get acquainted with all of its features due to the friendly interface, as well as offering popup tips for enhanced aid. It can eat you computer memory.
