Internet has always been a place where I have enjoyed and being in it gives me more knowledge about things which I never ever used to know before.It has become a place where I daily checkin to discover
something new, something which could give me knowledge, help me simplify my life and help in getting the job down faster.
OK I am not running away from the review, but just wanted you to know what Internet really meant to me.
My early days on the net was just about having fun and discovering some more sites so that I could increase my daily net time but that little bit and have fun that little bit.But soon I released that this all was leading no further than the increasing amount of telephone bill and my DAD’s anger growing with time.
Then as and when time passe by the Net still seemed to be my fascination, and I loved spending time with him/her but now I knew how much the time really meant and how I should fold my finger so that I get the most.
Those time downloading huge files coming to nearly 4 - 5 MB lead to lots of waste of time and money, so my quest began to search for utility that would provide me help to do the task done with the time limit.
I tried out GetRight but evaluation types are not my choice, DAP also lacked the taste because it as adding the block on the taskbar.GoZilla also has the same problem so all these problems finally led me to the solution, basically two solutions one was NetAnts and the second was Flashget.
I would love to tell the story why I realized that NetAnts was not worthy, but I am hear to write about FlashGet, on which I still haven’t started, have I?
Welcome to Flashget
Flashget is a download Manager which helps you in the basic task of downloading files from the Internet be it from the http server or the ftp server.
So now the question comes what is download Manager and why anyone would need it.
I don’t know about anyone, but I sure can tell you that everyone needs one, why?Well would everyone not like to have a software that would save time on the Internet(talking to the downloading type).
Download Manager basically are types of software which work on the files floating on the Internet, they do it in a way which Internet Explorer’s Downloading does not do.
The are capable of saving the downloading time.They retrieve the files asked for splitting them into various part.
You can download the Software from https://amazesoft.com.
For this you will have to waste some initial time with Internet Explorer, but it is worth it, I would say.
What FlashGet does
So you want to download some files from the Internet.All you have to tell Flashget is where the file is located specifically giving the filename of the file is important.
So now Flashget looks for the file on the server and makes log(information file) about the software, it splits the file locally into various parts and works on the specific part individually.
So now if 5 work together on a single file will the file not be download at a faster rate(work be done faster).
You can specify the number of part to be made to FlashGet and it will act accordingly.
If the file is too large, you can download some part today and the rest tomorrow or even days to come, take you time!
What I Like about this software
1)Interface - Flashget does not have a jazzy interface like other software, but has a clean and a neat interface.
The icons are specific to the Function so one does not find it confusing to work with.
2)Better control on Clipboard - Flashget has a good control over the things on the windows clipboard, so now if you have the location copied from the browser, all you have to do is click on New button and the text shall automatically be there.
This function helps in providing comments on the specific file you are downloading.
3)Better Compatibility - As I said before I have tried up many software for downloading, but of all these software Flashget seems to be capable on combining with every browser I have used, be it IE, Mozilla or Opera.
But to make it combine with Opera you will have to download a small plug-in available at their web site.
4)Better Download speed - Flashget when compared to other download manager does the job of downloading faster.I can surely say this by my experience with this software.
And this is one reason I had to leave Netants.How it does the job faster??I think it is because of the mirror which is search for on the Internet, or because of the PING function it carriers to check the download speed from each server and then selecting the best.
5)Does not put load on the taskbar - Flashget does all the job of downloading within itself, notifying you about all the downloads within a single window.So now you don’t have a separate window for each download task, so you taskbar is far less crowded.
What more...
Flashget prepares a database of all the files you have downloaded so even if you uninstall and reinstall the software only keeping the database file can do much of a difference.
It can also import broken downloads.
The recent versions all supports Skin but ads asking you to register seem to be a bit annoying.
But that is a less price to pay compared to what the software can do.
Conclusion
FlashGet sure is a type of software you would really like to try as it sure can save you lot of time, now you can download the huge time taking as much time as you want, also the job done is at a faster rate.
Internet Explorer does not support Resuming of download, but Flashget sure does.
