Today’s internet connections are a far cry from the early days, when one had to struggle with local cable operators (some of us still do!) and downloading files was an issue. Ever since public sector telecom operators such as MTNL and BSNL started offering Internet services with relatively better speeds ( as compared to dialup) such as 256k, surfing and getting that latest game demo has become much easier. However another problem has arisen. The increase of speeds in India has come a little too late. The size of downloads has rapidly grown. A standard game demo can be as large as 2 ½ GB. Now while in countries abroad this would not really take much time to download with their megabit connections, the rest of us poor folks have to get by with our paltry 256K. Downloading a file of that size can take the better part of the day and using the browser for a download of that size can become a problem. Quite often you will find, that the browser is not pulling in the file at anywhere near your connection speed. In such a case what one needs is a download manager. Download managers as most of us know, are applications that can pick up a download link from your browser and get the files at a much faster pace than the standard browser. These applications also make it easier to manage a huge download list, as they offer a central interface for doing so and are capable of multi-part file transfers. Now while there are several download managers that are available today, some of the best ones have gone paid. Keeping this in mind, our focus this week is on free download managers that offer excellent speeds, an easy to use UI and are fully feature packed. Free download Manager Publisher: Freedownloadmanadger.org File Size: 1696 Kb Download 1 Though it does have a rather “Captain Obvious” application title, this software is one of the best freeware programs that are available right now. Not only does it integrate with a wide variety of browsers, it has a very well designed interface and has separate clients for FTP and HTTP. It is also a “site ripper” i.e. it can download an entire website for offline viewing. |
