Publisher's description of FlashGet 1.9.2
From Trend Media:FlashGet is specifically designed to address two of the biggest problems when downloading files: Speed and management of downloaded files. If you've ever waited forever for your files to download from a slow connection, or been cut off mid-way through a download - or just can't keep track of your ever-growing downloads - FlashGet is for you. FlashGet supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BT, MMS, MMST, RTSP, ed2k protocol. Version 1.9.2 optimized the multi-thread dispatching, capability of disc read/ write when downloading; fixed the bug in certain situation that it has no traffic in Drop Zone.
Editor's review of FlashGet 1.9.2
5.0 stars
- "Get more out of your downloads"
FlashGet looks and feels like a download accelerator worth paying for, which makes it all the more appealing since it's free.
After installation, a small dark icon with three lightly-colored triangles will appear in the upper right corner of your monitor. Until you place it elsewhere, the FlashGet icon will live there permanently, and is always "on top" of whatever program you're using at the time. Simply drag the link you want to download onto the FlashGet icon, drop it and hit the Okay button; the file will start downloading automatically. We were able to download a 215MB file in less than 90 seconds with FlashGet, shaving more than a minute off the regular download time.
FlashGet supports more than bit torrent files, segmented downloading, and FTP recognition. It also has a Site Explorer feature that allows you to download multiple files from the same site in a Windows Explorer-style interface. Utilizing the instantly recognizable table, the Site Explorer cuts a lot of time out of navigating graphics-heavy sites, and it recognizes most file types.

Version: FlashGet 1.9.2
Pros: Continues to downloads so fast, I think the downloads didn't happen until I check and see that the download has taken place.
Cons: The download indicator keeps being covered by tabs in IE7, causing me to restart so that the indicator will remain on top.

Version: FlashGet 1.9.2
Pros: But when "FlashGet 1.9" was first released there was a huge but in that every few seconds it tried to connect to remote servers all around the world. I uninstalled it a.s.a.p. I'm hoping this is a bug fix release because over all, this is a good, free download manager. It works on both "XP" and "Vista" and it's simple to use.
Cons: The remote connection issue in 1.9. Plus there are other good options in this type applications. My favorite one isn't free.

Version: FlashGet 1.9.2
"Most useful, fast and easy to use"
Pros: - Customizable in nearly any way I could imagine
- very easy to create storage structures even over several drives
- very easy to move data arround or even to sort on dornload time
- installation can be started from inside the programm
Cons: The only feature I miss. is the ability of adding files manually, because not all sources of software support the use of download managers, and it would be an advantage if I could add thosse file later.
