Introduction

I did a test, downloading a 350MB file, using my ADSL2 connection using Internet Explorer. The speed was 240kb/s with an estimated time of 24 minutes. Using FlashGet, which split the file into 7 parts, the speed was 1499 kb/s and the file was downloaded in just 3 minutes, 38 seconds. What an improvement!

Downloading files with a browser’s default download manager is not always pleasant and many people prefer to use other third party download managers. There are many third party download managers available. One of the most popular free ones is FlashGet. FlashGet uses Multi-Server Hyper-threading transportation (MHT) technique and supports various protocols such as HTTP, FTP, BT, MMS, RTSP and others.


Features

FlashGet is bundled with a great set of features which makes this download manager unique among the competition.

MHT Technique and Multiple Protocol Support

In layman’s terms, Multi-server Hyper-threading Transportation technique means that FlashGet can split downloaded files into multiple sections and supports multipoint transfers in parallel. For HDD safety and to make downloads more stable, FlashGet also uses techniques like Ultra Disk Cache Tech. FlashGet seamlessly supports multiple protocols such as HTTP, FTP, BT, MMS, and RTSP etc.

Safe and Secure Downloads

 FlashGet has the capability to detect viruses automatically and then clean files of viruses, spywares and adwares, after downloads are complete. FlashGet is also 100% adware and spyware free.

System Resource Optimization

In spite of the fact that it enables faster and larger downloads, FlashGet uses minimum system resources and does not slow down your normal work process.

Better File Management

FlashGet provides an awesome file management system which helps manage downloaded files. You can create unlimited categories and assign which download has to go in which category.
