Here is a brief comparison of the download manager between Slimjet and other browsers,. To download a file using the turbocharged download manager in Slimjet, simply right click on a file download link and select "Turbocharged download" from the context menu,.
Alternatively, you can set the turbocharged download manager as the default downloader in the settings page as shown below,. When the turbocharged download manager is set as default, you only have to left-click on any download link to download a file using turbocharged download manager. After the intiating click, you will see a download confirmation window as shown below,.
Of course, your provider's server can download files much faster, so the idea here is to download the file to their server at high speed, split it, and retrieve parts at the highest speed you can to your provider's server.
Generally speaking, this method not only is a faster way to download files, but it is also a more reliable method since you'll be downloading many smaller files rather than one large file. First, find out the FTP address of the large larger than 16M for example file that you want to download. For example:. From within the telnet session, download your file to your provider's server.
Following is a "screen shout" of a sample file transfer on an UNIX compatible server. Do you require features such as support for authentication or proxy servers, scheduling or support for protocols such as Bittorrent or ftp? Commercial Alternative : Internet Download Manager.
I miss GNU Wget from the list. I would also like to request that you take a look at Download Ninja and compare it to others. Please let me know if you would like any information or have any comments :. I have been using Freedownloadmanager for more than a decade now and I firmly recommend it too. Flashget has started bundling unnecessary toolbars in its software in the last years.
Thanks for the article. It works perfectly and I finaly get the Gegeek toolkit. The quality of this article is unbecoming my expectations from a ghack article.
You should take the time to structure your article and review it thoroughly before you post. An open frank no judgmental assessment of various computer programs, sites and hardware. That seems a bit rude. Only two things were noted: 1 A number of users had problems downloading a large file from a site; 2 The users needed some type of understanding about why they were encountering the problem and several solutions to solve the problem.
The author listed four requirements for the programs he was introducing. The author warned, again as he always does , that many of the programs may have adware bundled within the setup file and how to avoid possible inadvertent installation of an unwanted program.
They have accumulated several serial numbers that have been used in giveaway promotions. I have tried two of them and IDM successfully registered with both. FDM has an option within the program to create a portable version. The download available from FDM is an installer and has no options to create it as portable during install, either.
While most of the portables I use are direct, some are from PortableApps. While I could create a FDM portable version by installing it first.. I do NOT want to install stuff, then create a portable version and then uninstall it — FDM, IMO, should perhaps simply just provide a portable zipped version or a portable option in the installer which I ran thru and it includes adding registry entries.
However, its their software, they can do what they like with it. Or you can just use universal extractor or zip for that matter if I remember correctly , and unzip the setup exe.
I usually use The Free Download Manager. Sometimes I use wget to continue downloads that get interrupted in firefox. Free Download Manager logs your download activity to their own server ip A few years back I remember trying FDM and noticed thru currports that several strange ip addresses kicked in when downloading.
So, I decided to give it a whirl again with the current FDM version.. I then used Fiddle to check out more on what was happening. The IP Porn sites are hosted, and the somewhat popular GOTD is hosted by the company.
There is activity to a php page and server before that page gets loaded that is hidden unless you track the activity of FDM. In this case, you use the program and the price is data collection it seems. When I opened FDM, no outbound traffic was observed. Load the url and look at it. Note: I have automatic updates turned off, I do not use the mirrors option, I do have "display opinions when downloading" checked, I do not check downloads before downloading if they are malicious..
No other outbound connections are made except the actual downloads. No information about what I am doing is sent. Also note that the address I captured FDM contacting is. Mozilla had one of these. The -c parameter should be mentioned to continue an interrupted download as should be the wgetrc file. DownThemAll for Firefox is the best of the best. A free Firefox add-on, it supports multi-threaded downloads, pause and resume, and can download all media pictures, MP3s, etc.
Used to use free download manager before migrating to win 7 now the only thing I can get to work is FF downloader. Internet Download Manager is the best. You can manually set it to detect which browser you are using as some managers only have a predefined set of supported browsers.
