This download manager is nice to see. There
are many download managers out there and the majority of them that are
"free" are adware or spyware and usually cost you some of your privacy or
time killing popups. I installed this one and I immediately liked two
things about it. One, it didn't put itself in the auto-run area of
Windows. Later in the options area, I told it to start when Windows does.
Two, it didn't install itself as an Internet Explorer BHO.
Again, later in the options area of the program I told it to do that. It
doesn't really need to do either one to work. If you don't want an
auto-start and a BHO, then just start TrueDownloader and when you want it
to work you just right click on file download links and copy the link.
TrueDownloader will pop up and ask you what you want to do. I'm not sure
how well the browser integration works or if it actually speeds up your
downloads very much, but I do like it's management functions and I'll keep
it around for a while. It's really hard to beat open source freeware.
