The FlashGet window. There are quite a few files queued up for download! You can, of course, schedule FlashGet to download when it's most convenient.

Downloading with FlashGet Jets FlashGet opens multiple connections to each file you're downloading. Each Jet, or "split", is a separate connection to the file. Each split is assigned a certain portion of the file you're after. In the screenshot above, you can see there are two separate connections to the file. You can tell FlashGet to open up to 10 Jets per file, for help on those really slow servers. FlashGet makes full use of your bandwidth FlashGet maximizes your throughput because normally a single connection to a file does not use all of your bandwidth. This is particularly true on really slow, non-responsive servers. FlashGet grabs those much faster than if there were a single connection open to it. FlashGet also gives a visual indication of each Jet with a red dot, showing just how much of each section of the file has been downloaded. With FlashGet, up to 10 Jets can be assigned for each download, and up to 8 files can be downloaded at the same time, to really make full use of your bandwidth. If you download...FlashGet is for you. Whether on regular 56k dial-up modem, cable modem, DSL, ISDN...whatever; Everybody can take advantage of FlashGet's split capabilities to fully exploit all bandwidth available to them and truly get those files in a flash.

Superior user interface Statistics for each download are ready and available at a simple click. Server messages are too. There is no need to wade through multiple windows to see what's going on with your downloads. It's all there, logically laid-out in the best user interface around.

I am a software designer/developer and I'm always looking for useful tools to make my life easier. FlashGet certainly takes alot of stress out of my day! Even with my cable modem, downloads can still be painfully slow, not to mention having to keep all of the patches, upgrades and betas organized. Then FlashGet was featured through the C|Net newsletter and now my workday is no longer filled with the drudgery of painfully slow downloads. Such a relatively simple concept, so brilliantly executed! Congratulations on creating a truly unique and powerful utility that no one should be without. I've been recommending to everyone I know!

Keep up the great job!

I've downloaded your program FlashGet(JetCar), and I think it's the best download program I've ever seen! I've tried Go!Zilla, ReGet, Download Accelerator (Plus), GetRight, GetSmart, Download Devil, and a few other, but you have won!

The download speed is remarkably high, and it's very nice that 10 parts can be downloaded simultaneously: this increases the download speed enormously!

It is also very good that files can be resumed well, and very easily! I want to give you my compliments with your excellent product!

Please continue to improve your program furthermore, if this is possible in the first place?! And please let me know, when you'll have an update or another program of the same high quality!

Bye,
