In general I find FDM 5 lacking in many aspects relative to v3.

Guys, of course we don't want to make FDM 5 worse than FDM 3! But, in order to do that, we need to hear from you: which FDM 3 features are really missing in FDM 5. On previous 32 pages, other users mentioned only about 20% of FDM 3 features, we'll surely port them into FDM 5. The other 80% look excessive in 2015. Make sure to mention your favorite features, so that we don't forget them.

Do you mean "Import list of URLs from clipboard" (Ctrl+Shift+V)?

After copying a list of links to the clipboard context menu does not import links.
Pasting given the abbreviation does not help, because the links to show in a continuous line and the program crashes error. Import abbreviation does not recognize the new line with the copied field.

OK, I meant "do you miss Ctrl+Shift+V from FDM 3?" - it's not working in FDM 5 now.

Understood. This feature is planned for the final version.

What is verified and signed? What do you mean? Is it something about Mozilla Extension Signing?

Well the old layout was much better, I think. All these new Windows 8 and Tablet-app like designs are tiring. :cry:
But oh well.....

What I'm really missing: an option that will let me save files ALWAYS to the same directory without asking me every time. A simple checkbox or option to chose standard directory or if I want to chose each time

Maybe I'm being blind, but a downloaded a file and it didn't finish. But it was shown as finished (it was from 4shared and the file size was definitely too low!!) and I could not find any option to resume or rather: restart the download o_O How comes?

Another Issue: Can't get Kaspersky Internet Security 2015 to run file scans. :\ It's also using "avp.exe" not "avp32.exe" but if I try entering it myself I need a console comand and I can't figure out the right thing at all. It's somewhat frustrating. Do you think you can add it?

OH and OMG how could I forget: I'm definitely missing some sound and desktop notifications to tell me when downloads are finished! Orfourse also the option to disable them.

You had all of this in FDM 3. I was just using it before and switched to 5 because if firefox complaining. How comes most wonderful optiones were removed? :cry: :cry: :cry:

Sry I was too fast! :oops:

It does work after all. Took a while to figure out!

C:\Program Files (x86)\Kaspersky Lab\Kaspersky Internet Security 15.0.1\avp.exe
and
"SCAN %file%"

worked after all! It was because part files (001, 002 etc) are not on the extensions list so those were not scanned. That's why it looked like it wasn't working.

Apologies for triple-replying :oops:

I'm no expert so I'm not sure, but you CAN disable the monitorin of your browser. Eventually the "ALT must be pressed" option could help you, too? :)

Can you add a switch that will download the FDM download?!
IE can press the ALT button to open the FDM, but CHROME does not support, can increase the feature?
Because some of the links use FDM download will appear the problem.

Thank you very much for the new manager. It is indeed a great progress, in term of design and functionality. Finally FDM5 catches links correctly without the well-known message, i.e. reload the page again. It takes time to grab a link, I mean in hard-nut sites like Youtube, but It really catches the videos, and it catches ALL of them; Thank you very much.
One thing That I would like to bring your attention about that is the copy of a given link to FDM. I mean with out drag&drop or using the extension. I think I would be better to provide a keyboard shortcut just for this item; because working with laptop makes it hard to drag&drop the link. Having said that, It does not mean I want the monitoring option.
I think acceleration still needs further progress. The positive side about FDM is that it now gives more constant download speed.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
