What's new in version 5.17 build 4?

(Released: May 19, 2009)

We have added these features in response to IDM user requests.

- Added "Add batch download from clipboard" menu item to "Tasks" menu

-Significantly revised parsing of http protocol headers. Besidesincreasing download speed, it also solved problems with flaw programmedfirewalls and antiviral software. In particular "CA Internet Security Suite"has a serious bug in its network filters, because of which IDM versionsfrom 5.16 till 5.17.3 could not parse headers and download some filescorrectly.
