What FlashGet is

FlashGet is a Windows download manager with a free plan and a paid option from 29.95 one-time. Its MHT multi-server hyper-threading divides files into sections and transfers those sections in parallel. The maker says Ultra Disk Cache Tech is intended to protect the hard disk and improve download stability. FlashGet supports HTTP, FTP, BT, MMS, and RTSP protocols, among others, and its One Touch function can start target downloads after receiving seed information. Downloads can be scheduled, organized into unlimited categories, and assigned to separate directories. The software supports up to eight concurrent downloads and browser integration. After a download finishes, FlashGet can call antivirus software to scan for viruses, spyware, and adware. The maker describes it as freeware without adware or spyware. The home page links to classic FlashGet 1.73, while the download page lists IE6, IE7, IE8, and Firefox support. FlashGWQ is described as an add-on for remote control over a broadband connection.
