I don't need the update downloads feature - it's just irrelevant bloatware. Flashgot is quite good, but nowhere near the class of FDM. My FDM 2.5 works perfect every time, is stable, efficient, clean, lightweight, blindingly fast and very beautiful. I wish there was a new plugin for the new Firefox 3 though.

Please tell, how exactly does this feature bloat anything?

As far as I am concerned, that feature is a must, and that is why I am still sticking to the old FlashGet 1.73 (newer versions are buggy as hell), and I am anxiosly waiting to see this feature in FDM.

Exactly that's what I am missing as well !!! And hopefully with automatic checking for FF Add-on UPDATES - like all other (newer) FF Add-ons do !

I think developers don't even see these requests...
I also want the "check for update" feature implemented in FDM

Same here, strange that its so difficult to code.

Agreed! Please developers, implement this feature!

When can we expect this feature to be implemented?
Any developer? Please?
TIA

I Agree with you !!!

I need this feature.

We plan to add it.

Alex,
Thanks for your effort!

It's not so hard i believe for you to code it. Why it's not present yet?
You only have to check filesizes and dates of last change/modification of files.


And check some fields against FindFirstFile/FindNextFile on local drive! That's all falks.

Several years spent for sticking this thread and not implementing 20 lines of code.

Let's hope some developer see this...
Thanks i4u1!
