How internet Download manager Works?
-
Dear Expert, What are the principles of Internet download manager? How is it work? I am thinking to develop program like it, what is the suitable language? Regards,
I've been a registered owner of IDM for (I think) over ten years, and it works very, very well. It is also a program that is updated almost every six-weeks because of the very complex business it does of integrating into all the popular browsers. What's even more remarkable: they've never asked me to pay for an update ! On the simplest level IDM is a manager for file-downloads, but that's like saying C# is a simple tool for making applications :) It has too many other facilities and features to go into, here. Unless you are seasoned developer with years of experience in dealing with Windows and in interaction with browsers, and a few years of your time to spend on this project, I suggest you think of another project to do.

What does the name suggests? Internet *download* manager. It simply manages the processes for file downloads or other downloads that you are trying to get. As Bill has mentioned above, the job is not just to download the file from web resource, but also to ensure that the plugin is well integrated to all of the browsers. That is the actual tasks that they have to take care of. Downloading the resource is simply an HTTP client asking for a file download. But how does it know that a user wants to download something? That is the actual job of theirs. For example, downloading a video from YouTube, Dailymotion or like downloading an audio file when it is played from the browser (all kinds of browsers). That is the complex task that IDM does for you. Anyone can download a file, just Right-clicking on that resource and selecting "Save as...". IDM does more than that! That is what makes it "The" Internet Download Manager. :-)
