Please, develop a MacOSX version! I have searched a lot and there is no software like FDM for mac. There are some shareware download managers that don’t come close to FDM functionality… I have to switch to Windows on my MacBook everytime I have to download something big.
Look at Downloader for X (D4X) for linux. It isn’t FDM but not bad. With the GPL, maybe some good people will contribute to a version for X? Then we can stop using the Firefox downloader completely
Yes I like FDM too, but it very nice if there a linux version, which is same opensource too
I like a concept about remote download server, which can optimize our network bandwidth, so every people in my office can fast to get same download file from internet. Like another server concept (Server Donwload Manager),
Oh yes! Please develop FDM for linux and if possible make it Open Source too. I love it very much. No download manager can take the place of FDM in my box!
I, as well as the many others who use Linux, would greatly appreciate a Ubuntu debian port of Free Download Manager. Or maybe even just a wine using FDM compatible plugin for native Linux Firefox!
Once again I visit the download site of what I believe to be “the most dependable download manager” in cyberworld. This time I wasn’t looking for an *.exe installer. I was hoping the GPL anouncement will be followed by a release of *.tar.gz kind of installer or maybe *.bin
Such a release will do the Linux world real good and its about time too. I greatly appreciate this software. No headaches over *.deb or *.rpm just a *bin or *tar.gz will do! More grease to your elbows!
First think about the feasibility of making it free source.
- These guys will loose their source base
- Once source is out it’s not that difficult to port to your historic/fantastic/blah blah Linux flavours
hi.. i found the source code by accidently on sourceforge.net but I don’t think it can be compiled in linux yet .. so If any one can , you will please alot if you try ..
Well actually I was struggling to get download manager on linux.. But thanks to WINE . I successfully installed fdm on linux inside wine. Just one exception that u need to copy a missing dll file into the fdm directory.. if you guys need help on this; i am glad to help u (anandan.personal@gmail.com)
I’m for the Linux version too! Especially an Ubuntu version. It’s getting popular these days. Even utorrent is going to release a Linux version! Please hurry up!

This is however unlikely to happen.

July 20th, 2010 at 3:07 am
fdm is very good tool
July 23rd, 2010 at 7:53 pm
I’ve used FDM from past 4 -5 years on windows, now that I am working with Ubuntu I would like to request one.
I VOTE 4 linux FDM
September 13th, 2010 at 6:06 am
To use FDM with Wine you need to download mfc42.dll from this website : http://www.dlldump.com/download-dll-files_new.php/dllfiles/M/mfc42.dll/6.0.400/download.html. Then you have to copy the mfc42.dll to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/ in Ubuntu.
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:41 pm
I love FDM but can you let me know if you have a version for Linux
January 10th, 2011 at 1:44 am
I don’t know if this is a petition, but I also really want free download manager ported to linux. Would be awesome.
January 25th, 2011 at 9:37 pm
Thanks a lot Farreina. I’m using LinuxMint 10 (Ubuntu based distro) and your tip save my day! FDM is working like a charm now!
July 17th, 2011 at 9:57 pm
I’m for the Linux version too! Especially an Ubuntu version. It’s getting popular these days. Even utorrent is going to release a Linux version! Please hurry up!
August 2nd, 2011 at 12:57 am
FDM for Linux would be so great! PLEEAAAASE! I tried every downloadmanager available for Linux. But FDM is much better (faster, no broken downloads)!
August 5th, 2011 at 10:07 am
Please port FDM to linux….there’s no such good download managers like FDM…You guys made a promise long time before…..Hope you remember it now also….
