0 figgy Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Creating a download manager requires a lot of effort and knowledge. The programmer needs to understand web protocols: HTTP, HTTPS & FTP, working with firewalls etc. and in additon he/she needs to know how to create plug-ins for each of the said browsers. You are asking for a lot of work for free. Why not just use Longhorn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 nowimnothing Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 its more or less the same (different interface, but same features i think) as MSN 9 has... thats still in beta at the moment, but it should be out soon... if you don't like alpha software you can always try that out...

0 itsnotabigtruck Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Well, first, extract those start/stop icons with a reshacker. I might try it, I could do a thing that performs concurrent WebClient downloads, though I don't know about hooking into IE. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
