Sorry, I can´t agree! :(

Still no sorting by date (or size) on ´Site explorer´, so also this version
is completely useless for FTP-download.

Good work.

Things that are bad though are that extra thing you want to install from the installer and the Make A Donation button is ugly on the toolbar. I would like that to be a menu item instead.

3.5/5 for this release.

-0.5 for the donation thing, -1.0 for the installer addon which again might put people of installing FDM so I would get rid of it for the final thing.

If the donaton button is in the toolbar is probably cause too less
peoples noticed it in the past version......
For the other things...... I think heavy bugfix should start with the "almost
complete in features" version,I miss just smaller icons and sort order,
but I continue hoping in the future, this is the best free downloader
I know, and I trust Alex.
Please be patient you too.

@Make a donation
Should be in the Help Menu. Or make it possible to disable this button.

@Nav... tool in setup
Also think that this is not a good solution to bundle such software. Will wait, but if this software or any other 'additional' thinks in furhter versions of FDM I will stopp using FDM!!

@Auto check of new versions
Why we don't get a option to switch off this! don't want always check the FDM website after I get an internet connection!

I also wanted to mention that this new feature to preview ZIPs is great! But i think if it will be button "Preview ZIP" somewhere near button "Query Size" it will be great!

Thank you very much, love the new features and the mirror search option which was sorely missing, the big icons are OK but you should incorporate an option for reverting back to smaller icons in the near future. Love the audio/video preview option, I think it is an excellent feature.

1. NavExcell- Please don't rott such a nice application with these crippy stuff, I beg you.

2. Donate button- Should really take it's place under the help menu.

3. Download all by Free Download Manager- Should sort the list alphabetically for better source filtering.

FDM crashes

Postby ET » Mon Nov 22, 2004 10:57 pm

I installed latest beta in 2 computers with WindowsXP SP2 and it keeps crushing in both. As a matter of fact it doesn't even start, giving messages like "Free download manager is not properly installed". I uninstalled and reinstalled it several times, cleaned registry, etc at no avail.
There is nothing in common between 2 machines except for the same OS.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Whether FDM can be started via Start->All Programs?

It starts one time out of ten via Start->All Programs on one machine and doesn't start at all on another...
