in bittorrent tab -> files tab - ability to change priority for several files
bittorrent: when checking the files that already downloaded, show the progress if checking

to create a list of recent downloaded files by clicking in the tray icon, with the ability to open, open with, show file in folder(like in chrome)

interface could be better, want to delete some buttons from the panel make them smaller, change skin...

+ 1 for web interface here. I'd find it really useful. It'd be great to be able to kick off downloads at home from my smartphone while I'm away,

I would love FDM even more if it has Browse Referrer feature like in orbit and gigaget. It really help when i'm download file from time limited filehost site like enterupload so i don't have to search or googling the link again if my previous link expired.

.... and linux version would be appreciated

Download Searching:

Ability to search among downloads to start with
and then to search within a group

What about support ftp manger in a tab (like filezilla, WinSCP, ...)?
+
Managing Plugins in settings.
+
Another group for filters named Broken.
+
Not completed + recent: we can set how long a download is recent & are broken downloads consider not completed?
+
Expanding history will not save and it is collapse automatically after restart app.
+
Media preview not working for uncompleted downloads (I've tested for videos not audio).
+
Setting for update didn't save, also the update itself didn't respond for me (for portable version).
+
Put the files in the default folder of FDM into subfolders (The default folder is very messy).
+
Change place of tabs using mouse & move up & down downloads by dragging with mouse.
+
Ability to customizing toolbar (add, remove, sort).
+
Ability to select multiple groups in the left side using Ctrl+click.
+
How about consisting zip preview in media pr./co. tab.
+
Multicolor for progress tab (colors for active & first place of sections).

Start download immediately after pasting the download link or two page for new download, one paste and accept link (download started) and another for other settings (folder, name, mirrors, ...).

....


Sorry if they are a lot (it's because of my love to this program...)

I'm using FDM 3.5.931

I saw in first post

I think other file servers should be supported too, as rapidshare is starting to die since they changed their rewards system, which atm is non-existant..

Fileserve, Megaupload, Hotfile are more popular these days, I havent tried FDM 3 yet to see what problems, if any, exist with these file servers and these should be supported, especially as free users

Can you please add an option to skip the recycle bin by default while deleting files? Or at least make the function accessible without using the keyboard?

Did you try Shift+Delete?

Please, make the drifting window (the small one which is seeable while FDM is trayed) dockable!!! And even better, add an option to make it change to an even lesser size, short and wide... Thanks!

one feature request:
Download speed slider bar in main window interface, to reduce or increase maximum download speed of download

i cannot use the network mode (light/medium/heavy) since i use that to handle the maximum number of downloads.

my request:
1. add a many skins to give a nice&beautiful interface
2.auto detect connection speed without chose type of connection example, LAN,modem56k and etc
3.add auto generate to download videos from youtube, Google videos and etc
4.change icon into 3D icon or change into interactive icon

Select folder where to save downloaded files when adding download from Import Clipboard

Add Download Button for FLV and Mp3 online player's like IDM .

I would really like to see either some customisable kotkey settings, or at the very least some command line support. Especially for pausing and unpausing downloads!

I can tell you how to make FDM better. Look here:

The list of common groups of files and extensions for each group can be found here:
http://pastebin.com/LvEMeXUc
This list was made from lists of [url]file-extensions.org[/url] site. Ofcourse there is no need to include all extensions into FDM's predefined list of downloads' groups, but the current supply of FDM in this matter is pretty poor.
