Net Vampire
- If you surf around a lot
and spot files here and there that you'd like to
download, then you need this ad-supported free program.
Just drop-and-drop the URLs to Net Vampire and you can do
all your downloading in one batch. Net Vampire resumes
broken connections and restarts downloads. It's also
specially designed to deal successfully with noisy
servers and unreliable links. New version offers powerful
features such as a built-in search engine; true site
testing; and support for many proxy types, including
socks.
Monica
- We've had a number of
requests from visitors for a good freeware FTP and HTTP
download client for the Mac. Monica fits the bill nicely.
Monica lets you easily set up a download queue. Once
you've placed some files in the queue you may manually
start each download at a time convenient to you. Monica
restarts incomplete downloads if the server times out. (For Macs). 800
kilobytes.
WS_FTP - The most
widely-used FTP client on the Net. There's nothing fancy
about WS_FTP, but it gets the job done and has every
feature you need for basic uploads and downloads. Free for home and
academic uses.
Go!Zilla
- Here's a superb freeware
download manager utility. Go!Zilla allows you to recover
from download errors and manage and categorize files to
download later (and get those files from the most
responsive site.) Go!Zilla will even resume a failed
download. Here's a screen shot. 1.3 megabytes. (For Windows
98/95).
Dipstick - If you
download a lot of files (like us) you really need this
essential freeware utility. Among other things, Dipstick
will query various mirror sites and tell you which will
give you the fastest download. Dipstick is now also
available as an Active X control. Note: Dipstick has
been recently updated to fix several bugs including a
tendency to crash when trying to clean up URL lists.
LeechFTP - There's a
lot of good freeware out there for every purpose. But
quality free FTP clients are rare. LeechFTP fills the
void with a strong package offering many bells &
whistles. This free multi-threaded Windows FTP client can
do HTTP file downloads, as well. Besides English,
other language versions are available, including German,
Czech and Chinese
