For the last couple weeks I have been playing around a bit with downloading video from the Web. That is no small feat when you’re on a dial-up connection! Can’t wait until that DSL switch is installed for our rural location.
For some of the videos, which were hosted on personal sites unlike youtube or google, I was able to right-click on the “download” link that popped up just a second before the video screen appeared. Then, choosing download with free download manager, I could download the video at my leisure.
Pick up the Free Download Manager (FDM) and install it today. This is not an affiliate link! FDM will help out immensely when you want to download media from the Web. Have you ever wanted to save a PDF to read later instead of opening it in your browser? After you install FDM, just right-click the pdf link and choose to ‘Download with Free Download Manager.’ A new window pops up that lets you choose the new file name and location to download the file.
FDM runs in the background while you turn your attention to more pressing matters. You can even set how fast it runs so that downloads can trickle in and not interrupt your surfing activities.
Free Download Manager is free, open source software that allows resuming of interrupted or broken downloads. FDM also has an upload manager for sharing your files and has support for downloading video from video sites like google and youtube. The downloaded video can then be saved in native .flv format or converted to one of more popular video formats.
FDM has been a real time-saver and has helped me organize my stuff!
