Dear developers, after about a year I see no usefull implement of this post's information in FDM. Please care more, answer the posts.


Thanks everybody for your posts.

Hi,

requests:

1.Please make Media preview use other program(auto detect if installed any media player for example winamp) to play media (FDM use windows media player codec to play media).
2.how to work FDM when doubleclick a download(resume and etc)?

tanks,

Extendet planning of Start/Stop Downloads:
Start a Download if Download X is finished
Start Download if Dowload X's Speed is below Y

And similar Things. Espicially in Bittorrent Downloads this would be useful, as I sometimes have Downloads with a higher Priority, but which could be stopped or delayed in order to finish other Downloads first if its Speed is too low anyway.
Bittorrent often Blocks all my bandwith, so I want to run the Downloads one-by-one.

Thank you for posts. I am add the features you post weekly.

v2.5.755

A)
At the moment we can only switch between "FileSearching.com" and "FindFiles.com".

We can't use both at the same time.
Like "If FileSearching.com don't find a file search with FindFiles.com"

If more sites available it would be nice to add these too.

B)
Suggestion to "Don't monitor for files smaller than xxx"

If this is active, the size should be known when the "add download" window is open. I have always to click on "query size".

Here's my suggestion:

Rename file while downloading, instead of the need to stop download > rename file > resume download.

I'm sure this is pretty easy to do

Please, this request is easy!
Replace the shortcut ctrl+shift+V (insert links from clipboard) and
make it easier ... only ctrl+V ...

I insert links manytimes every day and this would help me

Hi there ... Here is my issue , which is very neccesary for I myself ...

There is a great disadvantage in the FDM , and that is :

You can't start 2 different groups of url list's download individualy AND

simoltaneously

Let me describe it better ... You can make 2 different groups in ur FDM ( eg. group 1 and group 2 )

Then u add two list of urls to each one of this groups ... and u set different

setting for each group !

but when u press START ALL DOWNLOAD !!! there will be no difference for the program where the url is located ! it will start all of them !!!

but in a program like IDM , there is this feature that you can start download of this two Group Individualy ... it means the program will start
to download group 1's URL 1by1 and simoltaneously download Group 2's url 1by1 ... and there will be no interuption between these two jobs ...

well the advantage of this method is :

if u are a proxy sever user and u are accessing different proxy machines !

u can use more than 1 proxy machin at a time !!!!

and that is fabulous !!!

I HOPE YOU TRY TO ADD SUCH A FEATURE TO YOUR NICE F.D.M.

REGARDS

By the Way , the maximum number of connection to 1 server is limited to 20 !

That is something ODD !!! most Highspeed Internet Connections show their

potential on more connections than that ...

so if there is a way , fix it ... ( at least 30 )

Please consider adding rtsp support!

It seems a lot of users have been requesting it, with ~ 70 posts and going on to 20000 views for that topic, yet it does not show up in the "consolidated list of requests"?

Please add support for streaming protocols like rtsp to the "wish list"!

I should think that this would be a most popular new feature.

Regards,
David.

You should link to the original request in the first post.

Ability to execute any command after download has finished. Right now this reads "Check for Virus after download", and while one can execute any DOS batch, as it seems, it would be nice, if this would

a) be handled more generic.
b) already come with certain scripts ready to use.

Personally I like the idea of conversion of ZIP archives to 7Zip right after download has finished.

Parsing (pre-spider) of all links on a web-page and displaying targets them in a way it makes sense. Do you know those picture-galleries, that show a thumbnail and then link to another HTML file embedding that picture rather than the picture itself? Some even name that HTML page *.jpg and have a server-side redirect to a HTML page with an embedded image. It would be nice if we could handle such special cases.

I don't need the MediaPlayer. There is tools who do this better (VLC for example)

I also do not need other's opinions about a download.

It would be nice to have this modulare so one can opt out of it at install.

In the recent version it seems I do not get the active download tray-icon. It's either show or hide completely.

Also, paths appear duplicate and more in the download-path selection list-menu.

scheduling with scheme like X minutes after last download finished. this will be really usefull for me ^_^

When downloading videos will the url often point to a temporary cached file on the server.
These cached files will only be available for some hours.
So for e.g 30 videos you will be able to download 10 or 20
vidoes - but when fdm s going to start the rest downloads -
they will all fail!
Reason:
when fdm starts the rest these files will no longer exist on the server.
The time elapsed (this is the time fdm took to download the first bundle of vids)
will have been greater then the maximum storage time in the servers temporary cache.
So these files will be gone when fdm tries to start them.
Solution:
for the waiting download jobs fdm should download a tiny portion every 5 minutes.
this would advise the caching fileserver to NOT DELETE the file in question for anaother period!
The "keep alive tread" should start every 5 minutes and it should deal with all downloads in state "waiting".
please post this into the right topic - I am not sure if I am right here.
yours, Gerald

greetings!

two small things...

- show average dl speed of completed files in the speed column
- sort order in site explorer tab (by name, time, size)

the remote control is a fantastic idea,
need more improvements

bye!
