Flashget's bit-torrent abilities are very mediocre at best. Learned it the hard way, stand alone torrent clients are better. I don't get its built-in file priority option for torrents, it just doesn't work. I have not tried this final release, but these issue's aren't addressed in the changelog. So there is little hope.

Lets keep our fingers cross

btw,
which is faster IDM 5.07 or FG 1.8

[Vishal Gupta]

Both r good
I hv used both of them and found no difference in speed

[Vishal Gupta]

^^
Absolutely right. Currently I'm using IDM just bcoz of it has no problem with Rapidshare and other upload sites. Flashget started giving problems in these sites.

And yes! Flashget's interface is very simply and easy to use

Currently I'm not using Flashget so I can't tell the exact option, but u can find an option in Flashget Settings, I think there is a tab "Proxy"
