Download Accelerator
Internet Download Accelerator Makes Downloading Fun Ride!
Version 5.0.5 of a popular download manager has expanded its feature set with plug-ins support, Advanced Scheduler plug-in, ability to download entire folders via FTP and more
WestByte Software has announced the release of version 5.0.5 of their download manager - Internet Download Accelerator (IDA). Most everyone downloading files from the internet has experienced the sufferings that come from a broken connection. This may happen due to a disconnected modem or a system crash. Until the age of download managers there was only one way to deal with a broken connection - restart a download again, losing time and money wasted on a half-downloaded file. Fortunately, IDA offers a smarter solution.
Internet Download Accelerator gives you an ability to resume a disconnected download. If you have downloaded only a portion of a file and the connection is interrupted, the program will resume the download and get the rest of the file without restarting it from the beginning. This greatly saves your time and, of course, money! Another best thing about IDA is a unique technology that increases a file download speed. IDA splits up a file and downloads its several pieces simultaneously. This helps you get the most out of your internet connection.
Internet Download Accelerator gives you many other interesting abilities that enhance your downloading experience. It lets you play a video or audio file even when a download is not over, thus allowing you to decide in the very beginning whether to continue a download or not. You can also manage downloads and have different types of files automatically sorted out into categories like Archives, Music and Video. If you need to download a ZIP-archive, IDA lets you download its files selectively, only those that you actually need.
Another convenience in IDA is Active Visual Cartman, a floating icon that provides immediate access to all main functions of the program without the need to open its main window. The program can integrate into all most popular internet browsers, including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Mozilla, Opera, Netscape, and others, replacing the standard download modules. What's more, it can monitor system clipboard and detect URLs in it. Featuring support for additional plug-ins, IDA gives you unlimited possibilities for expanding its functionality.
What's New in Version 5.0.5?
- Plug-ins support;
- Advanced Scheduler plug-in is shipped with the program;
- Ability to download entire folders (including the content of subfolders) via FTP;
- Optimized download speed and enhanced stability.
