CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET staff on June 01, 2009
For users who download a great deal of content, there are always headaches in the process. No matter how fast your computer runs, downloading seems to slow down and complicate matters. GetGo Download Manager proved to be worthy of the task of taming the download process.
This freeware program will not be immediately noticed, as it comes as a command button on your Internet browser. But even then, this program doesn't come alive until users attempt to download music, movies, pictures, or other forms of media. A box will open asking if the user wants to use GetGo to download. From there, they are sent to a screen that shows what you are downloading, how large it is, where it comes from and how long it will take. At the bottom of the screen is a monitor of how much bandwidth this is taking. To the left is a navigation screen to look at all downloads past, present, and on hold. We appreciated the range of options for managing downloads, including picking the download folder, sorting videos into categories, and renaming files.
We were very impressed with the performance GetGo provided, as it lived up to its billing and downloaded media at a much quicker rate than expected. The program is organized in a very intuitive way and does a nice job of sorting out jobs. We highly recommend this program for any user who frequently downloads flash video files.

Version: GetGo Download Manager 4.1.1.201
"It does what it says on the tin! Worked for me."
Pros: Has seemlessly integrated with download URLs to fast-track the downloads. By running multiple threads for the downlod, the downloads use up every last bit of bandwidth my ISP allows. I bought GetRight in the past - have switched to this now.
Cons: Seems to save all downloads in one directory rather than ask - perhaps this fits in with the "download later" option when there is no-one around to ask. I admit I have yet to work my way through all the options.
Summary: Would I recommend this to a friend? Yes. Will it download a CD ISO image in 10 seconds? Of course not, but it will recover from an interupted download, use the bandwidth your ISP allows and provide some modest eye-candy, if left on screen. No adware... read more >>
