From the developer: "What's the biggest problem of downloading---Speed, the second biggest---Management after downloading. FlashGet(JetCar) was written for these two problems.

FlashGet is capable of creating unlimited number of categories, each category has a specified hard drive directory, files placed in categories will be stored in the specified directory, the powerful and easy-to-use management features help you to organize your files in a way that you had never organized before."

Note: This version includes many improvements such as a new user guide, retry delay, an improved import batch files feature, bug fixes, and more. The free version contains an advertising banner. The registered version is $15.

• "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.

Be warned, though: some malware detection programs might identify the Internet Explorer plug-in as spyware, although we didn't encounter any problems with it. Other than this hitch, FlashGet is good to be got.
