This version is obsolete, its not compatible with many modern web servers, present day browsers, it may cause problems with new operating systems. During last years many unique features have been added to IDM, and many critical bugs fixed. We strongly recommend updating IDM to the new version. Version 5.19 is available (Jul/2010) What is new in versions 5.03 - 5.14? - Added IDM Download Panel for IE and IE based browsers that appears on top of a web-player when IDM detects a multimedia request from the web-player.

It can be used to download flash videos from sites like YouTube, MySpaceTV, Google Videos, etc. - Redeveloped from scratch and completely replaced IDM integration modules for IE and IE based browsers on more stable ones. Note that previous IDM integration modules were designed for IE 5.0 and were getting obsolete. - Added "Speed Limiter" to limit download speed - Added the feature to download and save FLV video files from popular sites like YouTube, MySpaceTV, Google Video, etc. If you like a video that is playing from these sites and you would like to save it on your computer, you may grab it with IDM from Internet Explorer, Firefox, and other Mozilla based and IE based browsers - Completely redeveloped IDM scheduler.
