Internet Download Manager

Is Internet Download Manager a safe program to use? Or is it full of spyware and does it slow your computer down? Thanks,

From my experience it's safe. I always preferred Free Download Manager though.

If you really, really must use a download manager, I recommend FDM which is open source software, can also be used "portable".
