Any plan on adding "Download Bar" on videos? And supporting many other sites? Would be good to see these features.

Totally agree .

It's like Firefox saga, ripping the best to copy Eagle-get?

Why don't keep the 3.xx version
& Rename the new version lite (5.xx is lighter version in terms of features)

Agree but sadly the devs are ALL in For "Remove features & Make it crippled "

I too agree with 3.7 being better than 5.0.1 .

The new one looks too dumbed down & also has Major features missing(WIP but still)

You guys should fork 3.x in Classic build with being updated separately
and 5.x being a different light branch.

3.x being fa superior product than the new lite version,
maybe devs can chip in about whats the plan?

For one i like 3.x more than 5.x for obvious reasons.

We highly appreciate your feedback. All your feature suggestions will be taken into account when working on a new release. As for the FDM version 3.9.7, it has been switched to the Maintenance Mode and continues its functioning.

Whoa can 3.7 get a fresh coat of paint? just new icons & colors?
Soon?

I too have to agree with all the posts above you [not taking a shot just saying older one is better overall]

Maintenance mode? so no new features to be added?
Also cannot make portable version for FDM 5

I don't like it the new version.

First of all you claim to be a torrent client but you don't have most settings required for a torrent client.

The new UI looks nice but... You truly dumbed it out. Save as, Mirrors, Proxy, Connection settings etc... these are highly useful. By removing them you only lose your current users. Please keep all the features of 3.9 or you'll end up like Flashget.

+1000 . Can't have said it better !

No one needs the 385734th torrent client.

That said, the new UI is nice. How can I integrate FDM 5 with FlashGot?

Where are all the settings/options from the earlier 5.0 versions? In this BETA, almost nothing can be changed in the settings menu, is this a bug or have they been removed? Things like antivirus scanning, bittorrent settings, proxy settings, http/ftp settings, essentials, errors, local files, internet server, everything is gone. In this state, FDM is useless.

And why isn't it possible any more to enter MD5 or SHA1 hashed for new downloads so that you can check the integrity of the download?

- What a good idea to kick out over 11 % of all users.
- XP is still ranked number 2 with almost 11 % share (and not going down since months). Why a Mac version for 7 % if XP is missing?
- I am that much disappointed. How useless this FDM 5.1 Beta is!

Still forced to use version 5.0 preview build 4726 with FF37.0.2

Well, I do not think it is a bad idea to drop support for a 14 years old, unsupported and unsafe operating system. No discussion on this please, it is fact that there are unpatched issues in XP that occured after the support lifecycle ended and no one should use it anymore unless he uses a PC without an internet connectio. And in case you really have such a PC, what do you need a download manager for?

But, I agree with you, the 5.0 pre-releases are much better atm as too many options are not available in the beta release.

Hello.

I just installed the FDM 5.1 on win10/chrome. when the new fdm open, everything is blank, i've lost all the files and tags.
i've all the sav files from the previous fdm 5.0 but it seems they are useless, because in the new fdm 5.1 everything is saved into a json file... what the hell !!! the new tag display on the 5.1 is uggly and less friendly to use.
a lot of necessary options are stilll missing and now there is even less choices in options. what's going on in your mind ?
now i want to go back to fdm 5.0 5140, and i can't because the chrome plugin allways ask me to install the lastest version of fdm and then disppear because i don't want .... so it seems i'm stuck and forced to use your lastest 5.1.

you should at minimum tell us that there is no backward compatibility with the previous fdm.
