Free Download Manager

Right off the bat, this is not a photography related post, however, many of you may find it very useful.

More often than not, when we deal with digital photographs we share them in batches. I, for instance, send digital proofs to my customers after a photosession for review. These batches of digital photographs can easily exceed 1GB or more. The problem most people have is that once the download is interrupted it has to start from the beginning.

Today I discovered a very convenient free program called Free Download Manager. It allows for resumable downloads as well as parallel download stream. In my limited testing it supersedes Windows 7 “Copy and Paste” mechanism and it’s especially useful for downloading large file batches from FTPs or other online resources.
