Guess there wasn't time to fix Shutdown

Postby Philidor » Fri Oct 01, 2004 11:37 pm

Before complaining, I do want to say this is a good program. Gets the fastest downloads of any manager I've tried on dialup.

XP SP2 Home

When Free Download Manager finishes a list of downloads and I've set Shutdown computer when done nothing happens. Well, the screensaver keeps running and I get the login page, but that's all. Entries do show up in the Scheduler.

Also, I'm wondering about the use of Download All in the right click menu. Currently, I have to eliminate items with the wrong suffixes from the list manually. Is there any way I can select the file types I want to download from everything on the page? Say by selecting the folder to which I want to do the download?

Thanks for reading.

Unfortunately FDM can not shutdown the computer if it locked or Welcome screen is showing.

Is this impossible to implement some time in the future?

I have the same shutdown problem on XP SP1 and SP2. FDM simply freezes instead of shutting down the computer.
My PC is not locked!

I get this same problem even when ive just closed FDM into the system tray. But when i restore FDM the shutdown counter window comes up. So if I leave it on over night it wont shutdown until i restore it.
