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 2.5 build 718
Pros: free; fairly quick downloading; no disconnects; integrates well into Internet Explorer 7(pro, plus, etc.); uninstaller works good( I've downloaded this for more than one computer); controls well laid out
Cons: not as fast as other downloaders like the Enterra; the button "Wanna Know The Truth" leads you to a website "Slave to Allah for life" where the Quran is presented; they ask you to change your home page to "Slave to Allah for Life"; you do not have to and it will still work, but their is a definite Muslim agenda going on here; watch it!
