Internet Download Accelerator is an easy-to-use and effective download manager that can increase download speeds by up to 500 percent. It uses intellectual multi-section download to provide the best possible performance for all connection types.
The acceleration is achieved by splitting a file being downloaded into several parts and downloading these parts at the same time. IDA resumes downloads, broken due to lost connections, network problems, and computer shutdowns, from where they left off. IDA supports download from HTTP and FTP servers, and can work through proxy-servers.To increase usability it integrates into Internet Explorer to automatically take over your downloads. Also IDA adds a toolbar to Internet Explorer to improve your download experience.
