What happens if I don't install the Microsoft Download Manager?

Generally, a download manager enables downloading of large files or multiples files in one session. Many web browsers, such as Internet Explorer 9, include a download manager. There are many stand-alone download managers available as well, including the Microsoft Download Manager.

However, if you do not have a download manager installed, and still want to download the file(s) you've chosen, please note:

  • You may not be able to download multiple files at the same time. In this case, you will have to download the files individually from the "Thank you for downloading" page.
  • Files larger than 1 GB may take much longer to download and might not download correctly.
  • You might not be able to pause the active downloads or resume downloads that have failed.
  • Files may be more difficult to download or take longer to download.
