For straight ftp or http downloads, Fresh is 'fresh'. It tends to interfere with ASP redirects or other indirect downloads, intevening at download initiation only to think the URL is http, therefore refusing to complete the transfer. Won't handls https. Needs to be optional so user can decide YES use fresh for a download, or NO, let the browser handle it. Uninstall did NOT remove the Netscape plug-in so fresh still remained, albeit broken. Had to remove plug-in manually. Needs work, but getting there, and the price is right, with no banner intrusion or other spam/spy junk.
