Editor's review of iGetter
stars
- "iGetter"
- Version reviewed: iGetter 2.0
This program improves file downloading for select users, but novices and impatient users will balk at the complexity of this application.
iGetter Download Manager's Chrome-like interface is very familiar to Firefox users. iGetter's primary users are those needing to download large numbers of files. Choose a URL, and iGetter fetches every file name. Through easily set options, you can limit iGetter to certain file types. On a perfect day, iGetter could easily download those 100 electronica songs from your favorite composer.
However, we never had a perfect day with iGetter. We'd often set options, only to see them disappear on next use. The process to link iGetter with our browser didn't work with Firefox 2.0. On a couple of our test machines, iGetter would put a ghosted icon in the middle of our screen that was visible in every running program. The numerous options and ability to use mirrors makes this an application only for the serious downloader. Other users will find that their browser and a download plug-in better accomplishes the job.
