This software is a download utility created for a girlfriend's request. It serves to provide a simple and efficient way to download files.
I recently had the opportunity to review a download utility that I made for my girlfriend. The primary function of this download utility is to aid in file downloads from both FTP and HTTP servers. Additionally, it allows users to resume downloads from both of these protocols.
One of the key features of this download utility is its queueing system. Users can add multiple files to the queue and they will download in sequence. This is especially useful when downloading large files, as it saves the user time and effort.
Another useful feature is the optional "Save As" dialog. This feature allows users to choose where to save downloaded files, rather than relying on the default location.
The history function is also quite useful. It keeps track of all past downloads, making it easy for users to find files they have previously downloaded.
In addition to the above features, the download utility can scan the clipboard for URLs, exit the program or shut down the computer when downloads are complete, and run external programs with arguments when downloads are complete. It even supports both HTTP and FTP proxy servers.
Overall, this download utility is packed with features that make file downloading easier and more efficient. I would highly recommend it to anyone who frequently downloads files from FTP and HTTP servers.
