Download with Free Download Manager

advertisements

I have mentioned earlier in this post that I have developed a liking for open source softwares, and would like to share my findings with the uninformed.

It has been quite a while since I last used a download manager apart from the browser’s own default file downloader, seldom download big files that would require me to use a download manager. For fileplanet.com downloads, I use their down Download Manager.

When I revisited newgrounds.com again, I felt an urge to use a download manager to acquire the .swf files off that site. I have always been a collector in the physical realm, hence I am not much different in the cyberspace when it comes to acquiring files.

And so I google-ed for the key words “Download Manager wiki”, checked out the comparison table in wikipedia and finally decided to use this “Free Download Manager”. Without further delay, the details:

Official Home Page:
http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/

Download link:
http://files.freedownloadmanager.org/fdminst.exe

Main Features:

Increase your download speed and resume broken downloads
Flash video download
Enjoy easy file sharing
HTTP/FTP/BitTorrent support
GNU General Public License
Enjoy safer and more rewarding downloading

So far I have found this Free Download Manager to be quite okay to use. I have download several .swf files off newgrounds.com using this. Does anyone else still use Download Managers?

@kljs:

Yarrrr. Firefox 3′s download manager aye?
How’s it like?
Good?

I think this is the first time they integrated a download manager into Firefox, right?

Can download flash videos from YouTube or not?

Cheers!
