DownloaderM

A Download Manager using multiple connection and multiple buffers to optimize the process of downloading a file.

Latest Release

Features

• Multiple connections (multithreading)
• Multiple buffering (for each connection)
• Fail recovery (continue downloading after connection error)
• Pause/Resume downloading
• HTTP Redirects

Multiple connections

Splits the file to be downloaded in multiple parts and opens one connection for each of them. All connections write parallel to the same file.

Multiple buffering

If number of buffers is set to greater than 1 then each connection uses a multiple buffering logic. While one thread downloads data to one buffer, another thread writes data to the disk from an other buffer.

Recovery

When the downloading is stopped or interrupted a recovery file (.dmrecovery) is created. It can be used to resume the download even after the termination of the program. On the successful download the recovery file is deleted.

Interface

• Pause/Resume/Cancel downloading
• Progress bars for each connection
• Settings menu
