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.

Great tool, however sometimes it gets stuck using the webspider tool (consumes a lot of CPU), but it's the best free one out there, next to Flashget (IMHO).

Getting open source? The guys from Flashget will be happy about the licensing system, I guess.

Can anyone manage to explain why all versions (apparently) of FDM show no information about version, creation date etc.? Does it really come from where it's supposed to, that is, from a reliable source? Right-click on the main executable to invoke its properties page and see this for yourselves.
