Free Download Manager 2.0

X-Caliber · 16-07-2006, 07:41 PM

Free Download Manager (FDM) offers you a vast variety of options to control and schedule your downloads. This is a light-weight but powerful download manager. FDM can resume your broken download so that you needn't start it from the beginning after casual interruption.
FDM allows you to limit the downloading speed. There are 3 modes of network usage: Light, Medium and Heavy.
Capability to split download into several sections allows you to increase download speed up to 600%.
FDM can connect to the Internet at a set time, download the files you want, launch any program, disconnect or shut down your computer when it's done.
This download manager allows you to specify the settings of network usage, such as login and password, maximum number of connections, default group, etc. So you can avoid adjusting these settings every time you need to create new download from the server.
Also you can download the whole web sites from the remote server. You can adjust FDM to download files with the extensions you have specified.

Does it give any better speed than FlashGet ? I have always found FlashGet to give the best average speed. Also the downlaod manager extension for Firefox, DownThemAll also gives very good speed. But sometimes it just has a silly "Server Error" bug which happens when creating new splits.

Well , the speeds are absolutely more or less the same , this giving better speeds sometimes ... but it has some compatibility issues with some specific servers ..

Also , another point to note is that this download manager can preview files , specifically zip , avi etc. etc. , a feature i really miss in Flashget ...

I was a fan of Flashget till the last January. Then i met IDman (Internet Download Manager) & now sticking with it. I feel it's better than flashget.
