Dear FDM Users!

We've already done the most you've asked for (but sorry, not the all of it).

It's time to vote again for the features you would like to appear first.



Don't see a feature you want? Feel free to post a reply in this topic with your suggestion.

Hi,

A filter for mass downloads would be great. By default it is very hard to choose which files you want as the window is small and not efficient and the downloader shows absolutely everything, even web elements.

I always miss some files by checking one by one, or download unwanted files

Filtering by file extension or somehting like that would be great for the mass download feature.

Long term request.
Ability to download .torrent file only and save to specific location as in FDM 3.9. and not actually use FDM as torrent downloader.

Hello,
Is there any specific reason you want to download .torrent files using FDM instead of your web browser?

With FDM 3.9 I have a group for .torrent files and that's a different save folder which is on my NAS. The downloader on the NAS watches that folder and then downloads it on the NAS.

Why don't you want FDM to just ignore these .torrent files?

The 'Download all with FDM' had a filter by extension feature in FDM 3.9 and that's why I stay with 3.9

One extremely important thing to add is to be able to choose the number of connections per download individually, or per type of download like torrent file or direct download file.
I also though about simply adding in the new download window a "Static" number of connections or "Dynamic" by default.
Because when i download a file other than torrent, i download faster with only one connection almost everytime and this also makes some links from alldebrid unusable too.

Actually i can only do it by setting 1 connection in the settings for each bandwidths, Low, Medium, High.

After each download, I open the folder where the file is located, and I always need one more step to close the FDM window (because I don't need it anymore). I wish there was an option where the FDM window would close itself when I opened the file or the folder where the file is located.

FDM features request:
1. Rename the file while downloading (some files do not allow naming before starting the download, it seems a UDP connection or something prevent FDM from renaming the file).
2. Enhance video download types coverage (not all videos are possible to be downloaded through FDM).
3. Video files sometimes do not offer the file name. Only resolution pixels are available (1080p, 720p, 480p) in the download window.
4. Add a feature to the tags to allow hiding the tagged files from the other listing, such as (All, Active, Completed)
5. Adding a secure tag with a password will be so great, so the secure tag contents are not visible without the password.

One more feature I forgot to mention:
6. When trying to download a video with multiple resolutions, there is no option to rename them. I suggest adding another column beside the download link to specify the file name.

I like FDM download manager very much. However, I think the browser plug-ins of FDM download manager are still too few. Unable to meet users in some regions. I hope there can be a dialog box where users can add their / their browser programs, which I think is better.

You should increase the font size of the interface which is too small.

This should be in the general system interface.

hide main screen \ gui in taskbar. always maybe


I like the smaller single box style for each dl. Not the Big GUI.
