IE DownloadHelper

IE DownloadHelper is a super handy add-on for Internet Explorer that makes downloading audio and video files from your favorite websites a breeze. Once you install it, you'll see an icon pop up in the Internet Explorer status bar. With just a couple of clicks, you can kick off a new download!

Easy Downloads with IE DownloadHelper

This tool not only makes downloading multimedia files easy, but it also comes with a neat conversion tool—though you'll need the premium version to access that feature. It allows you to grab videos and music and change them into any format you want, like AVI, FLV, MP3, MP4, MOV, or WAV.

User-Friendly Settings

The “Settings” screen is pretty basic but effective. It lets you set your default file saving folder, which helps speed up the downloading process even more.

Download Progress Window

Now, here's a little downside: when you start a download, IE DownloadHelper opens up a new window to show how the download is going and displays the total file size. However, it doesn't provide other details like remaining time or download speed—so keep that in mind!

Compatibility and Performance

This add-on works smoothly on most versions of Internet Explorer—both old and new. Sometimes it might need you to restart your browser for everything to run perfectly. Also, be ready to give Internet Explorer permission when you first launch the app after installation.

A Lightweight Manager

Overall, IE DownloadHelper is a lightweight yet effective download manager. Since it does such an excellent job at handling online audio and video files, it has the potential to become one of the top tools out there with just a few tweaks.
