FileMirrors.com searching. A mirror sharing and searching system for users of GetRight. Should help you find many more locations where you can download a file.
Download History. Nice tree on the Download Status lets you see information about finished downloads.
Added Mirror Manager to greatly improve ability to control, add, verify your mirrors for a download. [Under the Options button on the downloading window, or Right click on an item on the Download Status.]
Added Verify on Download Status to check the links for all your downloads.
Re-organize the Configuration to use tree structure. And add or move around a bunch to make better sense.
4.5a and higher removed all banner ads in the program. Now just "traditional shareware" that gives reminders to buy GetRight.
Added to dialer to make much better with different ISPs with different login or proxy settings. [Advanced button on Internet config.]
Added some "elapsed time" things in tooltips, if window not closed when download finishes, in some logs, plus in the History.
Added "repeat automatic" option [on Limits config item]. So can just go thru the whole list of any remaining downloads again. Should really help some of the busy server issues (plus have tried fixing the busy server stuff itself...this is a nice extra retry).
Added SOCKS proxy support.
