Oh man, you are my hero. |
Free Download Manager (FDM) is a feature-rich tool for handling and accelerating downloads. Includes a site explorer, offline website downloader, scheduler, video downloader (YouTube, Google Video etc.), BitTorrent support and more. An included media file preview prevents downloading mislabeled music or video while a ZIP file preview tool saves download time and bandwidth by selectively removing unneeded parts. A hash check capability can verify downloads and the program can be controlled remotely over the Internet (fdmwi.exe).
Especially useful to overcome unreliable/slow connections that require frequent download restarts, when bandwidth is at a premium, or for very large files.
Alternatively, Free Download Manager Portable is available, as well as a "lite" version, which has not been tested for portability.
NOTE: The program will now prompt for upgrade to the newest version on startup, which is not portable (thanks Joby) and uses a closed-source license.

Love this program particularly for infrequent or bad internet connections. Helps restart, resume, and find the best connections for downloads. I also use it for the occasional Linux or other big file distribution torrent.

@vmars: I have no clue on your problem but, as TVideoDownloader is only a GUI frontend to youtube-dl, ffmpeg and some other CLI tools, you could try updating those. YMMV. |

The program supports the use of relative paths for the download directory, avoiding drive letter change problems associated with USB drives.

Problems with this project. It do not run on Windows 8.1 and it seems the MSI of the last version is corrupted. Could the author make the software Windows 8-friendly?

Incorrectly downloads files bigger than 4 GB. For example, if you have 5 GB file, it downloads only some 1 GB. And the speed isn't that fast. I think, that's why the author discontinued it.

SeqDownload downloads an image file on a time scale you set to your local drive. Although this is primarily for "live" images updated frequently on the internet, it can also be used for other types of files.
With this, you can easily create a beautiful animation from the downloaded images or simply watch the historical images on your local download folder. On non-image files, you can make sure you always have the very latest file.

This is actually a pretty neat download manager for its size. I removed a lot of the columns to make it more like a download manager and less like a timed download app. |
