This software provides support for BreakPoint downloads and offers a client ActiveX control for easy downloading of batch files from the internet or intranet.
One of its key features is its support of Breakpoint download, which guarantees that even in the event of unreliable or slow connections, should a download fail before completion, it can be resumed from the point of failure. This ensures that time and bandwidth are never wasted providing a seamless download experience for users.
FileDownload Component also divides the download file into segments and downloads every segment in different threads, making it possible to execute multi-thread download while downloading a file. This capability ensures significant time savings.
Users can leverage the multi-thread download feature to download multiple files simultaneously without wasting time. Additionally, it supports batch download, which enables users to download thousands of files at a go.
The software provides multiple interfaces such as setting the download thread count and download mode split count. It also has an event fires feature that enables client-side VBScript, JavaScript, and VB applications to handle.
VersalSoft also ensures ease of use with the ability to change the style of the progress dialog, show or hide control, and change font and background color. The software offers help with various samples illustrating how to use the component efficiently.
FileDownload Component supports different proxy servers such as HTTP, Socket4, Socket5, among others, making it even more versatile. Control of pack size is automated depending on network conditions to avoid bandwidth throttling.
Finally, its size of only 123Kb, compressed even smaller, and development with ATL/WTL technology makes it an independent component not dependent on the MFC library. The software supports multiple languages and works effectively on Windows 9X, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003.
