Common! You know he was asking for a Windows download manager.

@krazy bluez: I use FDM as well. Although Flashget is the best in my opinion.

@praka123

nope, downloading.....

MultiGet sucks. Its damn robust, but its interface is sick and ugly and needs a rework. It looks like they tried to create something out of a commandline tool but never did it properly. I wish it had a commandline mode, but it does not exist.

FlashGet is the overall best download manager out there. Its not as robust as MultiGet, but after MultiGet, its the next when it comes to robustness. It has a clean interface. It supports a variety of protocols - http, https, ftp, rstp, mms, bittorrent and ed2k.

[Hrithan2020]

I also like the FDM best..I've tried Flashget,DAP and IDM so far..

[Sumeet_naik]

I use flashget. It works pretty well wit firefox.. I even use it as torrent downloader..

[skippednote]

Use flash get even digit prefers to use it.
The best thing is its ads free which helps u to get high speed without paying a single penny
HOPE U get the point

[Kl@w-24]

Flashget!! Gets the job done for free and has several nifty features like scheduled downloads, auto-shutdown etc.

[Krazy Bluez]

Is FlashGET uses more simultaneous connection than Free Download Manager?

Coz i have 2 mbps connection and want to download the most while it's on "FREE DOWNLOAD" time...

[koolbluez]

What exactly is the point of having a download manager? Isn't there one in every browser?

This is why:

A download manager facilitates downloading of files from the Internet. Designed with specific purposes in mind, a manager can:
• Automatically dial up an Internet provider at night, when rates are low and download files. The manager will disconnect the dial up when the downloading is complete.

• Download huge files for users with a broadband connection, can resume broken downloads, limit downloading capacity, browse a site automatically to download specified content, and do regular updating of downloads.
Easy to use download managers integrate well with web browsers. Features include: scheduling, traffic shaping, virus checking, as well as cataloguing.
Download managers either use BHO, browser helper object or APP, asynchronous pluggable protocol to intercept downloads. Some managers use one while others use both methods. An effective download manager is known to increase download speeds by 500 percent.
• BHO is used by: FlashGet, GoZilla, Mass Downloader, Alligator, and NetAnts.

• APP is used by: GetRight, Re Get, FlashGet, and Download Accelerator Plus.
Downloading videos, freeware, and shareware is facilitated by the use of a download manager. Download managers save downloaded files in appropriate folders and perform their functions late at night when you are not using the net.
• If a download is broken due to browser crash, electricity shut down, or lost connection, a download manager will resume where the process was interrupted.

• A download manager permits viewing of partially downloaded video files.

• It will allow you to drag and drop, download links to a floating icon.

• It can be programmed to begin when the PC is not in use and shut down on completion.

• One can formulate simple rules which the manager will follow to download several files from a site.

• Download managers do automatic recursive downloads.

• A manager manages files and gives instant review of downloads.
A few download managers grant greater user control while others are designed such that the content developers have control. Some like GoZilla display adware in the user interface while others have spyware, FlashGet. There are some with no adware or spyware like LeechGet 2003.
Download managers are of many kinds. Some are free while others require payment. Commonly used managers are: Offline Explorer, Nici, GoZilla, WellGet, Download Accelerator Plus, and Mozilla Firefox. Related to but different are P2P applications: Kazaa, eMule, BitTorrent, and stream recorders.
An ideal download manager must be:
• Free.

• Easy to use.

• Not have spyware or adware.

• Provide effortless downloads.
Any good download manger must maximize PC use, independently handle downloads, handle interruptions, and store files efficiently. Most download managers have built in systems that accelerate downloads by dealing with multiple segments simultaneously.
