I have added my personal download manager to the site. I have named it Elifteg, which is GetFile backwards since basically, all it does is get files. It was originally written for myself to download a large amount of high resolution images from NASA’s website. I figured it might be useful to someone else on the ‘net, so I am passing it on to everyone. It is a very simple application that lets you drag and drop links from your web browser (both IE and Firefox work) and queue the files for download, or download them immediately. It has the ability to either download a single file at a time (to minimize the time to get each file) or download them simultaneously, or asynchronously.

Screenshot:

It currently does not have the ability to pause and resume downloads, although that is a planned feature. It also cannot accept any type of protocol except HTTP. I am working on an FTP addition to it, so that files can be downloaded from either of them. So if this sounds like something that might be vaguely useful to you, check it out and let me know how it works for you. If you find any bugs or crashes, please let me know!

You can find some more information via the application page, or download the application directly from this post via this link.

There is a utility on the Microsoft website that will check your system to see if it is Windows Vista compatible. It is a good utility, but requires you to install it on each system you want to check before running it. I recommend you install the application on one computer, then copy the contents of the folder it was installed to to a memory stick to run in multiple locations. It does not require an install to run properly, as long as you have the .NET framework. I have a zip file available locally to download that can run from a memory stick.

On a side note, since I do not plan on upgrading to Vista myself, I cannot support the use of any of my free software on that operating system. Someday, in the future, possibly after service pack 2 or 3, I may upgrade, but for now, the only operating systems I can truly state that my software works on are Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/2003. Oh, and some of the applications written in VB6 will run under WINE.
