Flashget is the an award winning download manager and in my view the best Windows download manager hands down. What’s more, it recently became FREEWARE!
Rating: 5
Version tested: 1.73
I’ve been using this software for years and cannot recommend it enough. You can expect to:
- Speed up your downloads
- Have the ability to pause/resume downloads
- Manage your downloads, inlcuding control download speeds and define alternate download URLs
- The recent version also supports flash (swf) downloads.
- Upcoming versions (1.80 and above) will feature support for Bittorent downloads.
Note: This version of Flashget “calls home”, which is apparently related to the ShareURL mirror service. This is a URL sharing service that helps users simultaneously downloading a file to speed up their downloads. If you do not want this you can turn off this service from Options > Mirrors.
Go to the download page for the latest version. The program home page.

Hmmm, unfortunately time and again there are warnings of spyware about this program, recently again. Cannot confirm this, didn’t want to take the risk. Also the site is unreadable and confusing, being chinese.

I used FreeDownloadManager for years and would happily recommend it. For torrents you’re better off with µTorrent.
