CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This download utility is surprisingly attractive and full-featured for a freeware product, and its operation couldn't be more straightforward. To download a file, just click a link in your browser or drag it onto the program's tiny, semitransparent window.
In our comparison tests, Free Download Manager beat out Opera's download manager 85Kbps to 53Kbps. Its automation features also are very good. Like other managers, it can automatically dial a modem, start a download, or shut down the PC. Unlike many of them, it also can change the number of connections depending on download speed, or disconnect and shut down the computer if a file is unavailable.
If you want to boost your download speed for free, this utility is certainly worth a try.

Version: Free Download Manager 3.0 build 848
"A wonderful product. Would have paid twice the price!!"
Pros: Has all the key features I was looking for in a download manager. I found it easy to set up, easy to use. I use satellite and need to download during the "Free" time between 2 am to 7 am. The start all downloads timer set to 2 am does the trick.
Cons: Wish it had a stop all downloads timer to shut everything off at a set time.
Summary: Get it you won't be disappointed.

Version: Free Download Manager 3.0 build 848
"it could not finish the simplest download, got stuck."
Pros: the developers tried hard to make this thing as nice as possible:)
Cons: annoyingly popping windows here and there (after all, too many stupid windows!), no graphic download progress (speed-wise), it crashed at one big (4GB) download and in no way wanted to resume it - it did not even ask, just started to downoad again.
Summary: raw product
