internet download manager

when i turn my computer on, it tells me my IDM has expired and i need to reregister it. when i follow the link i find out it will cost me £14.99.

i know that there is someone on this site who will tell me where to find IDM for free. so i eagerly await your responce i know it wont take long.

thanks chris

    Uninstall the original one first.

    Regcleaner is a small program that will get rid of it for you. Try right clicking and save target as on this page

    Don't spend five pounds to dry clean a shirt. Donate it to the charity shop instead. They'll clean it and put it on a hanger. Next morning buy it back for two pounds.

    You may have problems if you install more than one download manager, as each may try to take control when you right click to download a link.
