What is Free Download Manager?
Free Download Manager brings file transfers and BitTorrent downloads into one Mac application. It can split a file into sections for simultaneous downloading, resume interrupted transfers and organize downloaded files by type. Scheduling and traffic modes help you control when downloads run and how much bandwidth they use.
It suits managing several transfers without leaving every decision to the browser's download list. Video downloading uses add-ons for supported websites; it is not a promise that every video service will work.
The linked package is the publisher's 64-bit ARM Mac DMG, listed as version 6.35.2 when checked. Intel Macs have a separate package, and the publisher lists older releases for macOS 12, macOS 10.12–11 and macOS 10.11. The exact minimum macOS version for this current ARM package is not stated on the download page. The screenshot shows an older Mac interface from MacUpdate's gallery, not a verified view of version 6.35.2.
What it offers
- Split files into sections and download those sections simultaneously.
- Resume interrupted file transfers without starting the download again.
- Download torrents with built-in BitTorrent support.
- Organize downloads by file type and schedule transfers.
- Adjust traffic usage and use add-ons for supported video websites.
Good to know
- Video downloading depends on add-ons and supported websites; coverage is not universal.
- This linked DMG is the ARM package. Intel Macs need the separate Intel download, and older macOS versions have separate legacy releases.
