Internet Download Manager Reviews

I got a little worried it might have malware or something, and, I mean, once that thought was in my head, I just didn't feel comfortable keeping it. So yeah, I ended up removing it because it just wasn't really worth the risk for me.

I paid for the license, but it still kept saying it was invalid. I reached out to support hoping they could sort it out, but unfortunately they weren’t much help. Frustrating, to be honest

At first it seemed fine, but after a little while my downloads folder was just packed with files in random places. I didn’t expect it to get that messy so fast. Then suddenly I was like, okay, what is even happening here?

I’ve used IDM for a long time and wanted to keep liking it, but the speed limiter really frustrated me. I tried using it so my downloads wouldn’t take over my whole connection, especially while browsing or jumping on video calls, but it never felt very accurate. Even after setting a limit, my internet would still slow down and calls would start lagging. I kept having to pause downloads manually, which kind of defeats the purpose. I still have a soft spot for IDM, but for something that’s supposed to manage bandwidth, this part was disappointing

It keeps stopping halfway through every time, and it’s super annoying. I was hoping it would just work smoothly, but I keep having to restart it and it’s getting frustrating.

I gave it a fair shot and tried downloading twice, but both times the speed was still slow. In my experience, just using my browser felt faster and easier, so I didn’t really see a reason to keep using this

I downloaded it and my first reaction was, why is this so complicated? It felt a little sketchy quickly, so I didn’t want to take any chances and removed it almost right away

I’m not sure if I was doing something wrong, but the batch downloads just never seemed to work for me. I tried a few times and kind of expected it to be straightforward, but it didn’t really do what I needed.

IDM still downloads files well when it actually works, but the browser integration has been really frustrating. The Chrome extension keeps disabling itself or just doesn’t catch links, and I end up having to reinstall it over and over. after paying for it, stuff like this makes me a bit distrustful and wondering why it feels so unreliable. I expected a much smoother experience from paid software.

I tried installing IDM from internetdownloadmanager.com it was a headache. There were too many prompts, the browser add-on didn’t connect properly, and I ended up having to restart twice. Like, come on now, I just wanted to test the downloads, not fight through an outdated setup process. It felt clunky and confusing enough that I gave up before I even got to use it.

I mainly bought this for the download scheduling, but it’s been frustrating. It either misses the time I set or starts downloading when I specifically don’t want it to. I messed with the settings a few times thinking maybe I had something wrong, but it kept doing the same thing. Support basically told me things like “check the schedule settings” and “make sure the app is running,” which I get, but I’d already done that. If you’re trying to leave downloads overnight and trust it to run at the right time, this just wasn’t reliable enough for me.

I tried the free trial downloads did seem faster sometimes, which was nice. But the setup felt a bit annoying, and the popups started to get on my nerves after a while. It’s not a bad product, I just didn’t feel like it was worth paying for in my case. Did anyone else have the same issue with the popups?

I had to deal with a refund issue it was frustrating. There was a lot of waiting around, then more back and forth, and it never really felt like anyone was actually trying to sort it out. I kept getting the kind of polished customer service wording that sounds nice but doesn’t really say anything, which made me trust the whole process even less. By the end, I was just annoyed and ready to be done with it.

I’ve tried using the resume feature a few times, but it never seems to pick up where I left off. Because of that, I end up having to start over each time, which gets frustrating.

IDM kept freezing up and just closing while I had downloads going. A couple files stopped halfway through, so I had to start them all over again, which was annoying. I thought it’d be a lot more stable than this.

I tried to figure it out for maybe 10 minutes or so, but it was just too confusing. After clicking around a bit and not really getting anywhere, I ended up giving up fast.

I bought this mainly to grab videos, but umm, the button keeps either not showing up or it fails halfway through. I reached out to support, but they just sent me basic steps I had already tried. It’s been days and there’s still no actual fix. it’s been really frustrating and not worth the hassle for me

IDM does what it’s supposed to do, so I can’t really complain about the basic performance. But the updates pop up way too often. It feels like every few days there’s something new to install or change, and it gets frustrating after a while. I also didn’t get any real follow-up or communication about why these updates are so frequent, which makes it even more annoying

I was trying to buy Internet Download Manager, and I mostly just noticed how weird the payment part felt. Maybe the rest of the site was fine, but I couldn’t get past the checkout. It didn’t feel smooth at all, and I kept wondering if my card had actually gone through or not. I was expecting a simple payment page, but it felt kind of old and confusing, with no clear updates along the way. Once I started feeling unsure about entering my card info there, that was pretty much it for me. I ended up giving up.

Using IDM when a download fails has been really draining. It just throws out some random error code without explaining what actually went wrong, so I’m left sitting there trying to guess the problem. Hitting retry didn’t help, and the help page only made me feel more confused. For a paid app, I expected way better error handling than this.
