Why Uploader’s integration components were removed?
Forever or until something fixed ?
It was useful.

Strange bug met.
When i set 2 downloads active at same time - FDM only downloads one file, even if i mark other files with “ignore restrictions”
When i set 3 dowloads may be active at time - FDM downloada two files at time…
It seems like if it was miscounting by one ( somewhere

BTW, could you make (perhaps separate pane? or extra verbosity level and extra indentation level in main log pane) plain HTTP/FTP/whatever-protocol log, like ReGet does it ?
Among things, i miss after migration from stalled ReGet are
1) plain protocol log
2) traffic gauge - greately done in ReGet, combining overall traffic with traffic for selected file(s)
3) task download gauge (with or without showing parrallel parts for multi-conneciton files) as a column in file list.
4) saving URLs and comments not in one-text-file-per-download way (who ese supports them after all ? only doubles file count in folder) but better in 4DOS’s stye descript.ion and files.bbs files (supported by filemanagers still - DOs Navigator, Total Commander, Unreal Commander, perhaps there are more) and Win32 NTFS Explorer comments (supported by Windows Explorer itself)
You may say, 3 is not needed as i can see numeric values for file size and bytes downloaded in the list (but graphical gauge is much easier to have a quick glance upon) and a special FlashGet-like panel for graphically shown downloaded and not-downloaded parts (but it cannot be viewed indeed - i need to scroll and scroll and scroll, it does not auto-scale for viewport and hence cannot give user a way for easy overview)
I use FDM since it came open-source (i tried Orbit, MutliGet and others before - and with por success, then continuing search i saw news about GPLing FDM and wanted to know what it is and tried it, and despite of its name i liked it quite much)… still i miss those features, and so i think they were really useful.

sorry, by “2 traffic gauge” i meant histogram. Quite different things, i admit, bu English is not my native and sometimes right word comes to mind way too late.

O! remembeed one more great thing in ReGet.
In context-menu for file there was not only “Download task properties” but “server properties as well - and it was very comfort and great!
It was not ideal (since there can be mirrors, it would be better, when mirrors, to change it into sub-menu “Servers properties” -> menu of main URL server + mirrors. However FDM as it is now lacks even this handy gadget

May I concur to this (mainly because of “descript.ion” feature)?
4) saving URLs and comments not in one-text-file-per-download way (who ese supports them after all ? only doubles file count in folder) but better in 4DOS’s stye descript.ion and files.bbs files (supported by filemanagers still - DOs Navigator, Total Commander, Unreal Commander, perhaps there are more) and Win32 NTFS Explorer comments (supported by Windows Explorer itself)
