Editorial Review of Free Download Manager
This popular, free, open-source download manager speeds up the acquisition of multiple downloads by breaking the files into smaller pieces, then downloading these simultaneously. Trying it out, I found I was able to download several full-length movies in less time than it took me to find these legal downloads. In thirty minutes of dilatory browsing, using the default setting of no more than four concurrent downloads at a time, I managed to burden my hard drive with 488 megabytes' worth of material, including three full-length film classics, a dozen flash video files from YouTube, a handful of movie trailers, two music videos, and an old Mighty Mouse cartoon.
FDM will automatically resume interrupted downloads, and can download using Bittorrent in newer versions of Windows, though it will prompt you before enabling the peer-to-peer protocol. FDM will also alert you if it detects spyware or adware in a prospective download.
