I want to download iLivid download manager, is it safe?

No. Nothing iLivid is safe.

It is essentially a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) that will install all kinds of crapware on your system.

I use Download Them All for Firefox, works pretty well, no malware.

I would stay clear of it.

iLivid is a PUP classed and Junkware Potentially Unwanted Program bundled in freeware and downloaded on pirate sites, GuiltySpark hit nail on head.

I use [Edited] manager, some nice feautres

Mod removed link.

Being the 21st century I'm not sure of the need of a download manager. Your safe bet is to use your browser of choice chrome/firefox/opera or even IE with a good AV installed. Thread closed to avoid confusion.

If you ever ask yourself should I install this or is this safe the answer is usually no.
