Turbo Download Manager

In spite of the fact that the large majority of modern web browsers do a stellar job when it comes to downloading files from the Internet, there are still various valid reasons for using download managers. For example, when your internet connection is weak, download managers usually handle the situation better by resuming broken micro-connections.

Turbo Download Manager is a straightforward piece of software that makes it as simple as possible for you to download files from the Internet and manage multiple such instances from under a single roof. As is the case with most apps of this sort out there, the utility is designed to offer you a fast and stable way to download files, regardless of your Internet connection's speed.

The application does not require any kind of installation process: simply unzip the package and double click the .exe extension to launch the app.

Upon first starting the utility, you are met by a bare bones main window with a minimalist and quite modern user interface that looks at home on modern versions of Windows. You only get a search tab, a main panel that displays completed, ongoing or postponed downloads and a large button for adding new jobs.

The direct workflow is a true statement to Turbo Download Manager's simplicity-geared philosophy. Just click the plus-shaped button to add a new download job, optionally type a name or a description for the file, specify the number of threads and the number of seconds before a thread pauses and choose the destination location.

It is worth mentioning that the download links stored in your computer's clipboard are automatically pasted into the designated field when adding a new job. You should know that jobs can be added without automatically starting the download process.

You can get detailed information about any ongoing or paused download job like, the total size of the file, the download speed, the tile left, the number of active threads and the number of retries. Thanks to individual menus for each job, you can adjust certain download properties on the fly.

Turbo Download Manager proved itself to be a user-friendly, efficient and modern-looking utility that helps you grab files from the Internet in no time. Please note that the utility is still in an early development stage so certain glitches or bugs are to be expected, but we have not encountered any during our tests.

The only thing that we can reproach is the fact that Turbo Download Manager does not offer users the option to schedule downloads, a feature that is present for quite a while on other similar apps out there.
