A download manager is for downloading files
as what the World Wide Web is to the Internet. The world wide web is meant strictly to browse Internet pages and various information. Where as a download manager is strictly designed to download and sometimes
depending on the manager you use
even upload files to a server.

The good thing about a download manager is the fact that it has a memory
and can remember where a download came from
how big the file was
and how much of the file you have downloaded in case it has to go back and pull that information back at a later date. When you use Internet Explorer to download files
and your in the middle of downloading a file and the power goes out. You have to start downloading the files all over again
but not with a download manager.

As said before
a download manager has sort of a built in memory per say. If your power goes out in the middle of a download
once your computer regains Internet access
then the download manager will go right back to where the download left off and continue on from that point.

Also
with a download manager
it puts all the controls right in the users hands. If they are downloading multiple files
the user has the ability to pause certain downloads
to increase bandwidth to the other downloads
and then resume that download when ever the user is ready.
