uget download manager

Main Features:

  • Downloads Queue: place your downloads into a Queue to download as many, or as few, downloads as you want simultaneously.
  • Resume Downloads: if your connection drops out you don't have to worry, you can start right back where you were with download resuming.
  • Scheduler: scheduling of when uGet is allowed or not allowed to download files.
  • Clipboard Monitor: specify the types of files (via extension) that you want to monitor and any time you add them to your clipboard it will prompt to download the copied files.
  • FireFox Integration via FlashGot: Clipboard Monitor is all you need for browser integration really but FlashGot is a separately supported FireFox addon so we have made it compatible with uGet.
