Internet Download Manager is one of the best download managers available, which allows the user to download any content seamlessly in any format. The IDM supports almost all the websites to download content over the internet. 

Internet Download Manager downloads almost all the files of various formats supported by the web for downloading options. It also enables the user to select which file types are to be downloaded and which are not. It contains a built-in download grabber which dynamically catches the supported file formats from the supported websites and help its users to download them on a single click.

Although the Internet Download Manager is pre-configured to download almost every type of file format whether it is related to audio, video, photograph, document, executable, flash content, package file etc., if any of the format is missing or is not defined in the program, it allows its users to add it manually.
