It supports more than sites according to the feature list on the developer website. JDownloader - The program supports hundreds of file hosting services but requires Java to run. It monitors the clipboard and will add downloads automatically to its queue if they are hosted on a supported server. The cross-platform program supports many extra features such as support for premium accounts, browser integration, OCR modules or the automatic extraction of password protected archives.

MiPony - The program supports hundreds of file hosting services and extra features just like JDownloader does. PyLoad - The program does not support as many hosters as JDownloader or MiPony, but it may make up for it in other ways.

Do you require features such as support for authentication or proxy servers, scheduling or support for protocols such as Bittorrent or ftp? Commercial Alternative : Internet Download Manager.

The author warned, again as he always does , that many of the programs may have adware bundled within the setup file and how to avoid possible inadvertent installation of an unwanted program. They have accumulated several serial numbers that have been used in giveaway promotions. I have tried two of them and IDM successfully registered with both. FDM has an option within the program to create a portable version.

The download available from FDM is an installer and has no options to create it as portable during install, either. While most of the portables I use are direct, some are from PortableApps. While I could create a FDM portable version by installing it first.. I do NOT want to install stuff, then create a portable version and then uninstall it — FDM, IMO, should perhaps simply just provide a portable zipped version or a portable option in the installer which I ran thru and it includes adding registry entries.

That aside: if you're looking for an easy to use download manager that's both more flexible and more reliable than what's typically built into a web browser, I can recommend the DownThemAll extension for Firefox.

It doesn't cover stuff that is actively malicious. Nthing the opinion this is shady. Absolute best case, it's a website that thinks somehow its doing users a favor with a download tool.
