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 725
Pros: I have been using it since it First came out and it works great. It works just as good or even better than the ones you buy (Shareware). Why PAY for a Download Manager when you can get it for FREE here on Cnet Give it a try. Works good on my WindowsXP Service Pack2

"Didn't work for me Gigaget did though"
Pros: Has allot of features some of the dialogs had misspellings and mistypings so I assume the failure I had was result of a bad function call somewhere in messy code. I went on to Gigaget and it worked faster and cleaner.

"Required program for Dial Up users"
Pros: automatic restarts after disconnect and resume options. Keeps user informed as to progress and allows manual control of download functions for beginners and amatures like me.
Cons: there is nothing that I dislike about this program
