Download with Free Download Manager (FDM) - Chrome Extension

Download with Free Download Manager (FDM) is a Chrome extension that integrates well with the Free Download Manager. It allows you to leverage FDM's BitTorrent support, audio/video file enhancement, download acceleration, resumable downloads, smart file management, remote control, HTML Spider, and traffic adjustments. It provides two options for integration - through context menu items and an observer for downloading requests. Important: it requires FDM and a native client installation.
