New Year with new FDM

Dear FDM users!

We are happy to announce that FDM will see the New Year in with a different look and feel of its own. FDM 3.0 will be released on the 1st of January, featuring numerous tweaks and innovations, such as prioritized and partial torrent downloads, support for Chrome and Safari web browsers, avast! Antivirus, multifile metalinks, FDM plugins, and many more. The new structure of FDM settings and a number of other optimizations will surely contribute to its handiness, shaping a neat and fresh impression of the familiar program.
