Implementing advanced internet download manager

Internet is becoming more popular with its large volume of information. From the internet we can download any information as per our requirements. The internet downloads are like client/server transactions. Client will request to download a file from the server on the internet. Then the server responds by sending a requested file to the client. If we are connected to the internet, then there may be a chance of getting computer crashes that can leave the download dead in its track. Restating a download from the scratch is very time consuming and frustrating experience. The interrupted downloads can be resumed. It allows us to recommence a downloading from the point at which a download terminates instead of begin anew. In classic download scenario, the entire file can be downloaded from starting to ending. If the transmission of the file is interrupted for any reason then the progress made toward completing the downloading of a file is lost. This paper presents a robust download manager called “Advanced Internet Download Manager (AIDM)”, which will solve many of the problems associated with downloading process. The proposed download manager aims at managing multiple downloads simultaneously and handling bandwidth problems. The AIDM tool will also be able to handle resuming the interrupted downloads. It can also allow us to pause and resume a download at a specified point. If the transmission of file is interrupted for any reason then the download manager can pick up from where an interruption occurs and then downloads only the remaining fragment of the file.
