Once upon a time, when computers were slow, and Internet speed was like a snail in demolitions, there was a need for special programs that could help in the difficult task of downloading files.
It is worth noting that on the computers of most users in those difficult years there was the notorious and hotly cursed to this day IE 6 site coders (in the slang of advanced users, the "donkey"). He broke the download of the file when the connection was lost (and they were constantly), after which he could not continue downloading. So the download manager was then absolutely necessary for anyone who wanted to get hold of at least a couple of songs downloaded from the Internet.

Another important feature that forces you to use the download manager is its multithreading. What is it? The fact is that all boot managers are able to download a file at once in several streams, which significantly increase the overall download speed. Not all similar programs built into modern browsers have this feature.
