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 755
Pros: FDM is a very good download manager. The rate of dowload for my dialup connection has averaged around 4.5KBps, while downloading through MSIE 7 w/o FDM averages around 2.0KBps. (you know I don't have much to do when I watch the download speeds!)
Cons: None that I have ever found in any version of FDM I have used.
