Awesome overall
Absolutely AWSOME integration with browsers, the trial is easily bypassed by crack software, and overall i would buy it just to support the devs. Best out of all these, and JRDOWNLOADER 2 is good for a free option for those who dont like to get their hands dirty with cracks.

Bad or absent browser and clipboard monitoring, bad interface, limited settings
Cannot get the download link by itself in most cases, and it needs the link to be entered manually (not even clipboard monitoring worked). Changing the theme can make it unusable, settings are very limited compared to concurrent programs.

Specs

Pro
Supports ripping media from sites
XDM has the ability to rip files (MP4, AVI, webm, etc.) from media sites like Youtube or Vimeo. Unfortunately, audio streaming sites like Bandcamp or Soundcloud don't seem to work with this feature.
See More
Top
Con
Horrific project management!
There are no versioned source tarballs, no build documentation or build system, and the binaries seem to be built from a private repository as the source code does not reflect the changes.
See More
Top
Pro
Supports multiple download queues
With XDM you can set up a number of download queues, both scheduled and unscheduled, to give you better control over what batch of files gets downloaded when.
See More
Top
Pro
Uses download acceleration techniques
XDM intelligently and dynamically segments files as they're being downloaded, allowing it to use multiple threads per file. XDM also uses connection reuse to cut back on the amount of time it takes to establish a connection with a given server.
See More
Top
Pro
Built in scheduler
XDM's scheduler allows you to set a specific time for XDM to begin downloading, and then disconnect or shut down your computer when it's finished.
See More
Top
Pro
Integrated with a number of browsers
XDM is integrated with Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Vivaldi, and any other Chromium or Firefox clone. This integration has you installing an extension on your browser that redirects all downloads to be handled by XDM rather than the browser itself.
See More
Top
Pro
Resumes interrupted downloads
If you have a power outage, your internet disconnects, or your download is otherwise interrupted, XDM will be able to resume from where it left off just fine.
See More
Top
Pro
XDM is very fast for download files
XDM download speed is very fast because the internet speed on XDM is more optimized than other download managers.
See More
Top
Pro
It can get the download link without the need for other tools
Through the browser integration extension it is able to capture multimedia download link by itself - while other download managers need the link to be sent to them.

Great workaround for Google Chrome's annoying download interrupting "security" feature
Neat Download Manger for Mac is a great way to stop Google Chrome from interrupting file downloads with it's annoying "safety" feature that requires user intervention to keep a download or delete it. Somehow the browser extension enables Neat Download Manager to bypass Chrome's native download function.

Free version is fully featured
You can pay $20 for an iGetter license to help the developers, but it won't unlock any additional features - all of the pro features are available in the free version.

Con
Not very intuitive
Everything is a bit more confusing and takes a bit longer to do than with other download managers.
See More
Top
Pro
Resumable downloads
iGetter will automatically resume downloads when possible (some sites prevent this). This means that you can put your Mac to sleep half way through a download, and when you turn your Mac back on it will resume where it left off instead of going back to the start.

Con
Free version has a dialogue box
Unless you pay $20 for the license, every day you will have a dialogue box pop up for 15 seconds.

Pro
Schedule downloads for off-peak hours
Downloading stuff while you are on your computer can tax the internet connection. With iGetter, you can schedule downloads for the wee hours of the morning when you (probably) aren't using your Mac. This can also help with data-caps, as some providers have unlimited times early in the morning during off-peak times.
