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.

"Better than most. Maybe not as good as some."
Pros: I've used FDM for some time now. And although I've tried others I've found that it is more user friendly and simplier to use. You surely can't go wrong for the money.
Cons: Nothing that I've found so far.
