Относительно молодой и слабо известной программе на насыщенном конкурентами рынке приходится не сладко. Тем не менее, бесплатный менеджер закачек Free Download Manager уже сумел завоевать поклонников даже среди отечественных пользователей. Сравнение Free Download Manager (FDM) с конкурентами, включая бесплатные, условно бесплатные и коммерческие разработки, показывает, что в нём всё-таки имеется неплохой набор функций и некая собственная "изюминка", и нельзя сказать, что какой-то другой менеджер закачек (даже коммерческий) превосходит FDM "по всем пунктам".
