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 737
Pros: This is a very good Download Manager,integrating with all browsers, and I've been using it as my default download-tool for a long time.It is dependable too and this new Vn.2.5.737 gives all the features as shown in cnet.download.com--description of publisher.
Cons: While installing this Vn.2.5.737, my Windows One-Care(antivirus) captured a Trojan and quarantined it.The name is:-fumoei.exe>Trojan:Win32/AgentBypass.I checked this in prevx.com, see what it says"Your PC may be infected. The presence of a file called FUMOEI.EXE is a possible sign of infection."
Cnet.download.com and/or Free Download Manager may verify this.

"one excelllent little programme that works all the time"
Pros: This is a very easy programme to use. It will keep the d/l going even with interruptions such as turning off the computer or log on difficulties at web sites. It is one very dependable programme and worth getting for those of us on 56k and large file d/l.
