GetRight 5.0 Beta 3 Released

GetRight is a Download Manager program to help you download files from the
Internet.

GetRight solves the problem of broken downloads or interrupted connections by allowing you to resume. If yougot part of the file before the problem, GetRight will restart the download in the middle so it only gets the rest of the file, without having to
restart from the beginning. This makes downloading your files much easier
and faster!

Know Issues with Beta 3 Release

- The new QuickSync and ServerSync items need better checks and handling
if your list is full.

- "NoSplashes" no longer works. Really is a side effect of the protection
system which is what is showing the splash screen now. No way to have it not
yet--hopefully in a future version! But beta 2 does hide the splash much
sooner than beta 1. Still deciding what to do, might just not show it(?)
