Synopsis: Web Downloader is a download manager that supports drag-and-drop or clipboard monitoring of download links. You can use multiple threads for faster downloads, and stop/resume downloads at will. Web Downloader supports the use of relative paths for the download directory, so it tolerates changes to drive letter if you are planning to use it with a USBdrive.
Writes settings to: Application folder
How to extract: Download the ZIP file and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch WebDownload.exe. You can enable "use all relative paths" in "Options > Preferences dialog ...".

    [Anonymous] KemelExcellent app. Small and works just fine. Easy to use. Recommended. [2006-11-07 15:49]

    [Anonymous] anoni like this app, the only thing stopping me from using it is a serious bug where when more than 1 download is queued the application starts using all the CPU time. this is not a good idea if you don't want your CPU overheating for no reason. [2006-11-11 01:51]

    [Anonymous] AndrisLooks like it can only download from server port 80. Even via proxy it filters out port number. [2006-12-14 06:03]

    [Anonymous] JainendraI personally believe there's no one to give competition to Portable wackGet in this category.
    Surely not this one.Although it is 'good'.

    [Anonymous] Fred Upi think it has to be the worst! The first link to a download i tried and it failed.
    It can be tricky trying to drag links into the window as well, perhaps dragging them to the system tray icon would be better?

    All HTML tags will be removed from your comment. URLs (http, https, ftp) will be automatically detected and hyperlinked. I reserve the right to delete irrelevant, frivolous or offensive comments. For more general topics (eg. whether apps that write to the registry, leave traces on the host machine, rely on certain versions of IE etc. can be considered portable), please post to the Portable Freeware Discussion forum. If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
