had the same problem too.
Dev not interested though.

Good stuff
==========
- Settings search is pretty neat


Missing features from previous versions
=======================================
- How do I add a mirror?
- How do I force add/remove section?
- No download complete notification in lower right corner?
- No FlashGot integration (was easy enough for me to manually add it though in the FlashGot settings)
- Can't restart downloads once complete?
- No mouse-over information when mousing over tray icon
- No hash verification function ( Yes, I used this! )
- No help file or mouse-over tooltips on items in the settings configuration


Other suggestions
=================
- No way to disable thumbnail preview?
- No ability to set speed per download? ( I use netlimiter for this, but it would be great to be built in)
- "Move to" button - add option to enter folder using text box rather than using horrible "browse for folder" UI (like this https://help.stoamigo.com/wp-content/up ... Folder.png )
- Virus scan doesn't have default for latest Kaspersky Anti-virus, should be an entry for "avp.exe" or avp.com" ( https://support.kaspersky.com/7321 )
- Would be nice if you could set the font to a smaller size for the download list window

Summary
=======

Not useful to me in it's current state, needs quite a few more features from the previous version before I consider using it over the 3.9 version.

I definitely would love to be able to enter MD5 or SHA hashes to verify download integrity. Plus all the missing features of the 5.0 pre-releases of course

Just tried FDM 5.1 and I just have one question.
WHERE ARE SETTINGS
No, those are not settings

i like new design that is very better preview edition

Checked out the new beta released yesterday.
I dont like the main GUI opening for downloads. A progress window would be better after you hit download.
Remove all completed downloads option would be good on the top toolbar of the GUI.

And is there any prob or bug with the yesterdays release?
My net is 4mbps broadband.
FDM 3 gives me around 500kbps speed
Previous version of FDM 5 beta gave around 500kbps - 1MBPS or more sometimes.
The version/update release yesterday doesn't give me more than 200kbps speed? Default FDM 5 settings. Also checked speed was set to High/Unlimited.

As much as I like the new user interface, there are some features from FDM 3 that I'd like to have in FDM 5:
1. Batch Download
2. Site Manager (to control the download sections given to each site)
3. Site Explorer
4. Scheduler (a proper one, where you can put a lot of schedules in it)
5. File integrity checker

Good afternoon everyone. Has set itself the sixth version of the program. As always living the problem with adding magnet links. The program cannot get the list of files from magnet.
In addition lack the very classic functions of the program: scheduler, prohibition sleep mode while downloading the file, auto-delete completed uploads from the list.

Hello,
Tried 5.1 2300 build and noticed very high disk usage during download. This affects the download speed a lot.
Please check this.
All remaining options will come in time. Be patient everyone.

Thank you for letting us to try out this beta.

downloadind property option please add so that new link can be added after expiring of link

Any plan on adding "Download Bar" on Videos? And making it possible to download videos on any sites?

Icon size should be small and simple, "Small is beautiful" . Like this



Should add saving location for Tag.

Well 5.1 looks better than previous 5.X releases.

But settings menus has been suppressed even further? Why is that? No options as to what should be done when an identical file is being downloaded. Not possible to disable seeding before torrent download has finished.

I get the streamlining and WIP excuses when going from 3.1.7 to 5 preview but killing working features of previous version 5 previews, that's just stupid.

When are you going to put context menus and browser monitoring for IE11?
