What users say about ZDM
Real reviews from our community of 180,000+ active users worldwide.
"Switched from IDM last month and never looked back. The 10× acceleration is real — I'm pulling large ISOs at 35 MB/s on a 300 Mbps line. Open source is the cherry on top."
"作为开发者，我非常欣赏这个开源项目。浏览器扩展以 .zip 形式分发，方便我在内网部署，免去 Chrome 商店的限制。中文界面也很地道。"
"The pause/resume is rock solid. I had a 12 GB download interrupted by a power outage and ZDM picked it right back up the next morning. Checksum verification saved me twice from corrupted files."
