Besides the fact that it's supposed to accelerate downloads, Internet
Download Accelerator is also a good file manager because it
automatically organizes files by type, letting you see just archives,
music, video or executables you transferred.

The available customizations are numerous as you will surely notice from the 'Program Options' area. You can configure connection parameters, download settings and even set the antivirus to scan specific extensions as soon as the files reach your system.
You can further extend the functionality of Internet Download Accelerator with some plugins and it features some by default, so you only have to configure them as you please.
