Sadly if the plugin is on, the program searches the webpage instead of the local files no matter if the plugin was activated or not, so you are forced to remove it completely. There is also an integrated search function which can be useful to find your downloads faster, this makes sense when you download a lot of things and you not want to use Cortana. The program looks very similar like Internet Download Manager but offers some useful gimmicks like a floating window to show the current speed as little overlay. You will find this little icon with a link to on your desktop after the installation, not good but you can simple delete it. Since the program is freeware you will see setup things like that, this is sadly today more or less normal, so ensure you uncheck the integrated toggles to avoid the installation of Yandex related software, search engine and related crap. Ensure you uncheck it! We not want to get some extra stuff! The setup also comes with an opt-out option to remove the ‘candy’ in it. The setup offers two languages, sadly not the number one world language – English, why not?! The software is coded by russian people, Westbyte homepage is entirely in Russian language same like their Setup and there is no way to change it – sadly because that could scare people away. So what are the free alternatives? Well, I only found one which can compete against IDM – Download Master! The interface looks similar like IDM with some more gimmicks Internet Download Manager is maybe the most used download manager application under Windows, but some people might not like that it costs money and it ends up pirating the software – not so good.
