What is exact question I did not answer? I said, FDM has limit of 20 sections. You can't overcome it. We made this limit for exact the same reasons you described here: to not abuse servers and to not get our users blacklisted

You were not being clear. Since IDM gave me warning for high number of connections per server, and still let me choose. They did not have the limit of 20, instead of a list, and they gave users the jump from 16 to 32.

You can't open a file before saving it. You would like FDM to delete the file after you've opened it? There is no such a feature.

Would you consider adding this? A handy feature for files you would only open once. Everyone would find it useful with the setup package. Chrome, Android studio and most are not aquirable through Winget & other package manager or Microsoft Store.

Disagree.

I would not find this feature helpful in anyway, and in fact, would find it disruptive, both in terms of additional resources that FDM would need to monitor downloads in lots of different folders *and* the accidental deletion of a file that I then have to re-download.

So, no, not everyone.

Hello,
For now, you are the only user requested such a feature.
1. We have no enough resources to implement each feature a single user wants.
2. We would like to not complicate the interface.
So, for now, the answer is no. Sorry

Is there any functionality difference between the M$ Store version and the manually downloaded and installed version?

Specifically, Anything different about browser integration, or anything else in the settings of the manual install that has not yet been implemented in the Store version?

Just to be sure, it's ok to change this to "20"

Free Download Manager v6.19.0.5156 [Mar 13, 2023] STABLE

I have three issues.

1. "Check for updates automatically" does not work.

2. Has the option to select a default download folder been eliminated? If so, how is the default download folder determined?

3. Was export/import settings eliminated?

Given the differences between the last two versions, as we see below, can I assume the options I referred to are in different location in v6.19.0.5156? Can you direct me the those locations?

Also, can you offer any advice regarding the failed update alerts?

These images are from v6.18.1 Build 4920





These images are from v6.19.0.5156, no default download option, no import/export option

Where did you get this FDM from? It's not an official build. It's unauthorized one. Beware of possible malware.

Looks like an old version rendered from that link?

Hello,
Please notice FDM versions you post. 6.8.2.2818 is a way too old version. It was released in Apr 2, 2020. I don't know how this could happen, maybe it was a temporary bug of our download servers. I've just checked - current version is 6.19.0.5156. Please re-download.
