If you're struggling downloading larger files or you're constantly frustrated at having to restart a partially completed download then the Free Download Manager can help. Using this handy tool, you can improve your download speeds, queue up several files to download one after the other or resume a partially downloaded file in the event of an error or disconnection.
Installing Free Download Manager is easy. Firstly, download the latest version from this page here. We recommend installing the full version rather than just the 'lite' version. Click on the "Download" button and save the file to your desktop or somewhere you can easily access it. When the download is complete, double click on the file or choose "Run" or "Open" from your browsers download manager. Windows Vista and Windows 7 users will need to grant permission for the installation to continue if prompted to do so by Windows User Account Control. Once the installation process has started, the following window will be displayed:-
