This application helps users to download files much faster than any browser download manager. Free Download Manager allows users to download files simultaneously and to pause or stop the download at will. Free Download Manager allows the download to be resumed even after the computer was turned off, which browser download managers lack. This app is similar to any torrent downloader.
