Free Download Manager (FDM) is a full-featured download accelerator and manager. Using this software product you can easily download a list of files and whole web sites from any remote server via HTTP, HTTPS and FTP. With FDM the downloading process will be as easy as never before. FDM is a light-weight, powerful and easy-to-use application. Also this software product is well-known for its intuitive and user-friendly interface. FDM can function as a site manager, accelerator, site explorer and scheduler. FDM can resume broken downloads. So you needn't start the downloading process from the very beginning after casual interruption. You can resume unfinished download from the moment when it was interrupted. Also this program warns you if resuming isn't supported by the servers. It allows you to make a decision about the downloading. So with FDM you save your time and money. FDM allows adjusting traffic usage. So it provides you with an opportunity to browse web pages much faster if you use a low connection speed.

#2 Posted by Justin- on 29 Mar 2007 - 19:48: This is the best download manager out there. Thanks for keeping me updated. Bittorrent support is nice. Finally!

#3 Posted by Elactos on 29 Mar 2007 - 20:00: Yes indeed #2. Best Download Manager out there.

#4 Posted by hoypinoyako on 29 Mar 2007 - 20:27: just like flashget and orbit. all of them are good but this one seems better and clean interface.

#5 Posted by Spyros.g on 29 Mar 2007 - 21:26: It's def the best DL manager out there.. especially after flashget became so bloated and buggy (maybe it was wrong that they switched it to a freeware..) and at the time of this reply, build 605 is out which adds support to rapidshare.com, taken from their forum -> http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/board/v...opic.php?t=5604
