Adownload manager is a type ofsoftware that manages thedownloading offiles from theInternet, which may be built into aweb browser, or as a standaloneprogram.
A download manager manages files being downloaded from the internet.[1] Download managers break down files into multiple chunks for faster download speeds and allocate resources for downloading multiple items simultaneously.[2] Failed downloads can also be restarted from a download manager.[3] Download managers may be separate programs or may be built into web browsers or other programs, such asFirefox's andTelegram's built-in download managers.[4][5]
Download managers are occasionally used to spreadmalware or advertisements onto a user's computer. For example, the download page forFree Download Manager was hacked and used to spread malware onLinux devices from 2020 to 2022.[6][7] Other download managers have been noted to contain advertisements, be identified as malware byantivirus software, or attempt to install unwanted software during installation.[8][9]
