Flashget - 'The' Download Manager....

Frustrated with slow speeds, disconnections, 'broken' downloads? These are some of the problems faced by a dial-up Internet user. If you have suffered the agony of waiting for hours for your download to complete and then when it is almost all over, lost all of it just because you got disconnected; then don't you worry, Flashget is meant for you.

What is Flashget? How does it boost download speed?

Flashget is a download manager that can split download files into a maximum of 10 sections, download each section simultaneously and in the process make the most of the bandwidth available to you. It makes sure that all of the bandwidth is efficiently utilized.

Speed

The software claims to increase your download speed from 100% to 500%. I am not sure of the stats but I can assure you that it really really increases the speed a lot. Flashget exploits the available bandwidth to such an extent that your browsing speed will reduce drastically. Hang on; don't jump to conclusions. You can still browse when downloading. For this you are provided with an option to set a speed limit for the downloads. If you don't want to browse you can allow Flashget to optimize your download speed to the maximum by unchecking this option.

Resume, Site Explorer, Batch Download etc.

Another excellent feature of the software is that it allows you to resume broken downloads. It allows to add batch downloads. (Downloading a series of files with common filenames except for one or two letters i.e., usually numbers) It also has a handy site explorer that lets you explore FTP or HTTP servers. The site explorer acts much like a Windows Explorer .

Other Features

For all downloads you are provided with practically all information about the download within one window i.e., Status, Resume, Name, Size, Completed, Percent, Elapsed, Left, Speed, Num, Retry, URL, Comment, Create time, Complete time. Downloading from sites that require authorization can also be done easily. Just type in your username and password in the download properties and the software will complete the necessary authorization process.

Ease of Use

The software has a simple, neat interface. No excess, unwanted beautification. The version 1.3 (I don't know much about the older versions) of the software integrates well with both Internet Explorer as well as Netscape Navigator. It requires a plug-in for integration with Opera. So what? It's freely downloadable.

Drawbacks

Flashget too has its drawbacks. It is ad-sponsored software. You can use it for free, no registration is required. However, you can register it for ad-free operation if you want. Until then you will have to suffer the annoying pop-up windows reminding you to register the software.

Conclusion

This is as far as I know the best download manager. I don't ned to say more as the software speaks for itself. Get one copy for youself as soon as possible.
