I can only recommend this tool if you are looking for a download manager.įirefox users might want to take a look at the Firefox extension Flashgot which works well with the flashget download manager.įlashGet has been updated regularly in recent years, and the developer of the program has managed to integrate new features into the download manager without sacrificing the free, fast and clean nature of it. Again more information than the normal browser provides.įlashget is one of those great freeware tools that match their commercial counterparts in many ways and probably excel them in some. You can monitor downloads by looking at server status messages and download progress. You can download files automatically to categories which helps if you download lots of files at once. Most download managers are able to manage file downloads in a better way than browsers for instance. You would not want to download a file for hours only to find out that you have to start over because the download was terminated by the server sending it your way. Flashget is a download manager that can resume downloads if the server supports it. Then we have servers that tend to give timeouts or close connections from time to time.

With download managers you simply add all files to it, define the maximum number of connections and do something else in the meantime.
