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?

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...

i know when XP was in beta people where ripping things they like and got them to run on windows 2000, example; WMP8.

Would this not be possible>?

There is a ongoing thread about this

https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=114383

in the the Longhorn forum.

Anyways, you shouldn't suggest hacking.

Well any other vb.net pros wanna help me out in making this download manager, i think the main thing is setting the default application to use when a hyperlink that downloads a file is clicked.

cool, so you are going to try and make this? sweet, i'll test it out for ya :)

could you add like a sechulcle and dail-up / hangup

lets say i setup my modem and dial out at 11 p.m and disconnect at 6:00 a.m

or at 12 a.m and disconnect at 7:00 a.m

stuff like that..

and add queue,

here is some pictures that i took. one when you are downloading and right clicking, one when its queued/paused- they have the same menu and one when you click on properies and click on options

    • Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb by Karthik Mudaliar Image via Apple Apple is reportedly trying to get a clearance from the Trump administration to buy memory from ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) to get some relief from soaring DRAM prices. As per a report by the Financial Times, Apple approached the Commerce Department more than a month ago and also spoke to other officials and allies in Washington. For starters, CXMT is a company that's already been placed on the Pentagon's list of Chinese military companies. The Chinese company is the country's top DRAM maker. For Apple, the timing is certainly awkward but not surprising. Tim Cook had recently warned that Apple would have to raise prices because AI companies are buying up large amounts of memory for data centers, and just like that, Apple raised MacBook and iPad prices. Micron also recently revealed that customers have committed billions of dollars to secure memory supply years in advance, which shows us how aggressive securing infrastructure has become. This gives suppliers such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron more leverage, while pushing hardware makers to look for alternatives. CXMT is one of those alternatives, but not the simplest one. Apple has spent many years trying to diversify parts of its supply chain away from China, especially for final assembly, while still depending heavily on Chinese manufacturing and suppliers. Even domestic brands from China are moving towards CXMT and YMTC instead of relying on Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix. For Apple, though, it would invite more scrutiny than local Chinese companies. For now, this is more like a lobbying effort rather than a confirmed supply deal. There's no official statement from either of the parties. What is clearer, though, is the pressure behind such a request. AI demand has certainly made hardware a bottleneck, and companies are trying everything they can to bring things back to normal, even if that means making politically sensitive choices.

      I did test it a month or so back, but ... the results I expect to be on the first page are not there.
    • 4TB TEAMGROUP MP44Q, 2TB T-Force G50, and 2TB WD My Passport SSDs drop to great prices

      Neowin is saying these are good prices? Thats crazy. As others have said they are just ######. Time for big tech to bring down the prices for real not this fake crap.
    • Hands on with iFlyTek AINote 2 E-Ink tablet: insanely thin and smart

      By The Werewolf · Posted

      The iFlyTek AINote 2 is among the thinnest E-Ink tablets. It has an EMR stylus, a built-in fingerprint reader, and plenty of built-in AI features. You had me until "and plenty of built-in AI features." That and any company that still does the iProduct naming trope is an immediate pass. It suggests the company isn't very imaginative or creative and is trying to piggyback off another company's success. Extremely lame. Also kind of expensive. Better choices at lower prices out there.

      These are not "great" prices... just "less awful". Apparently "Those who forget the past are doomed to pay higher prices and think they've won."
