Neat Download Manager (NDM for short) is a very practical universal file download manager and accelerator for Windows and Mac platforms (written in C++), developed by Javad Motallebi from United Arab Emirates. It is very similar to the famous IDM in all aspects, but has a cleaner interface and small file size (less than 1 MB), and it is completely free.

Neat Download Manager has built-in multiple powerful and optimized download engines, adopts dynamic segmentation algorithm and multi-threaded download, which can increase the file download speed to the upper limit of your Internet bandwidth. It supports various protocols and proxies, can intercept and take over file downloads, supports the downloading and automatic merging of segmented videos, can pause/resume downloads, and automatically renew expired downloads. In addition, it allows users to limit the maximum available bandwidth and number of connections according to their needs, and can be integrated with all types of browsers, making it possible to capture download links of files (especially multimedia files) from any website.

All in all, Neat Download Manager is a full imitation of the famous Internet Download Manager. Although its multimedia file sniffing ability is not as powerful as IDM, its download speed is comparable to that of IDM. Such performance is quite satisfactory for a free application.
