Internet Download Manager
The download accelerator that has outlived every browser it plugs into.
A video capture and conversion tool with multi threaded transfers, batch queues, and format conversion built in, covering a very long list of video hosting sites.
Overview
This is a video capture tool with a download accelerator behind it. Paste an address, choose the quality, and the transfer is split into parallel segments and pulled down considerably faster than a single stream would manage. On a fast connection the difference against a browser download is large enough to be the main reason people install it.
Site coverage is wide and updated regularly, which is the part that matters most in this category since the sites change their delivery constantly. Beyond the obvious video platforms it handles social feeds, streaming aggregators, educational platforms, and the smaller sites that no other tool bothers to support. When a site changes something, the definition update usually restores it quickly.
Batch work is properly implemented. Queue as many addresses as you like and leave it running, or point it at a playlist or channel and pull the whole thing down in one operation with a naming pattern applied. The clipboard monitor picks up video addresses as you copy them, so building a queue is a matter of browsing normally and letting it collect.
Conversion is built in rather than being a separate step. The downloaded file can be converted during or after the transfer into whatever format the destination device needs, audio can be extracted directly for music, and output presets cover phones, tablets, televisions, and editing timelines. Subtitle tracks download alongside the video and can be embedded or kept separate.
The Pro configuration in this build removes the transfer limits and the queue size ceiling of the free version, enables the highest quality options including the high resolution and high frame rate streams, unlocks batch and playlist capture, and removes the advertising panel from the interface.
