World of downloads
Downloading software, games, videos, music, etc is one of the most common task of Internet users. Download managers are software, which enables you to download large files quickly and easily, with resuming abilities. With download managers, you can efficiently download data from the net.
The benefits of download mangers are:


1. You can pause your download and resume later.
2. Your download speed is accelerated.
3. Download and manage more than one downloads simultaneously.

And much more. Also there are free as well as commercial download managers available on the Internet. Here I have listed the best 5 free download managers of my opinion.
