Why would I need any of these?

While perusing some software choice on the internet, I came across some very...interesting stuff and for the life of me I couldn't figure out why I would need any of them.

1. Internet download manager.

Now why would I need a program to download stuff from the internet?  I know how to download things.  There are links all over the place to download things.  Why do I need a program to do it for me?  Now I haven't looked at this program, in fact I'm quite afraid to download it onto my machine for fear of getting some virus / trojan / keylogger / etc.

2. Snappy Driver Installer.

Another "Why do I need this?"  I'm quite sure all my drivers are on my machine and either Windows or the manufacture will have updates for them when needed.  So why do I need this program?  Again, I am frightened to download it.


These are just a couple of programs I have seen wanting me to download them for one reason or another.  I can only speculate on why.  

So be careful out there.  Suspect bad programs when they shout "DOWNLOAD ME".
