FlashGet

September 17, 2006 By 11 Comments

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!

I’ve been using this software for years and cannot recommend it enough. Check out the list of features below.



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.

Freewaregenius 5-Star Pick

 

Version tested: 1.73

Go to the download page for the latest version. The program home page.

    Flashget?

    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.

    Free Download Manager for me.

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

    I am surprised at PC tools using such bogus tactics to sell their product. I come looking for flashget only to find it is a fictional product designed to lure people to a page that sells PC tools.

    @ CC: Flashget is not a fictional product. You probably clicked on the wrong link. Try the following link: http://www.flashget.com/en/download.htm
