ConnectFusion

CNET Editors' review

by: CNET Staff on February 27, 2009

This freeware utility accelerates downloads of single files and lets you resume a transfer if the connection fails; it can save significant amounts of time. In our tests, ConnectFusion sped up downloads by as much as 50 percent. However, it can't retrieve more than one file at a time, so it doesn't allow users to take advantage of a broadband connection. Another minus is that the interface doesn't integrate with Web browsers. You have to drag a link to the application window or type a URL. The program also lacks extras such as the ability to schedule downloads or keep an Internet connection alive. Even with these drawbacks, ConnectFusion improves considerably on the built-in Windows download window. It might especially suit users with dial-up connections. However, those looking for a full-power download utility should try something else.

    "Generally Lacking"

    June 15, 2004  |  

    Version: ConnectFusion 1.0

    Summary

    Lacks ability to resume FTP.
    Wouldn't resume HTTP downloads that other managers could.
    Decided a download was completed while still showing 84% complete and would not continue download.
    Feels rushed and not up to standard of public release even for an open source product, many other products can do better, quicker and easier for the same price (Free).
