Building intelligent escalation chains for modern SRE. The author warned, again as he always does , that many of the programs may have adware bundled within the setup file and how to avoid possible inadvertent installation of an unwanted program. They have accumulated several serial numbers that have been used in giveaway promotions.
I have tried two of them and IDM successfully registered with both. FDM has an option within the program to create a portable version. The download available from FDM is an installer and has no options to create it as portable during install, either. While most of the portables I use are direct, some are from PortableApps.
While I could create a FDM portable version by installing it first.. I do NOT want to install stuff, then create a portable version and then uninstall it — FDM, IMO, should perhaps simply just provide a portable zipped version or a portable option in the installer which I ran thru and it includes adding registry entries. However, its their software, they can do what they like with it.
Or you can just use universal extractor or zip for that matter if I remember correctly , and unzip the setup exe. I usually use The Free Download Manager. Sometimes I use wget to continue downloads that get interrupted in firefox. Free Download Manager logs your download activity to their own server ip A few years back I remember trying FDM and noticed thru currports that several strange ip addresses kicked in when downloading.
So, I decided to give it a whirl again with the current FDM version.. I then used Fiddle to check out more on what was happening. The IP Porn sites are hosted, and the somewhat popular GOTD is hosted by the company. There is activity to a php page and server before that page gets loaded that is hidden unless you track the activity of FDM.
In this case, you use the program and the price is data collection it seems. When I opened FDM, no outbound traffic was observed. Load the url and look at it. Note: I have automatic updates turned off, I do not use the mirrors option, I do have "display opinions when downloading" checked, I do not check downloads before downloading if they are malicious..
No other outbound connections are made except the actual downloads. No information about what I am doing is sent. Also note that the address I captured FDM contacting is. Mozilla had one of these. The -c parameter should be mentioned to continue an interrupted download as should be the wgetrc file. DownThemAll for Firefox is the best of the best. A free Firefox add-on, it supports multi-threaded downloads, pause and resume, and can download all media pictures, MP3s, etc.
Used to use free download manager before migrating to win 7 now the only thing I can get to work is FF downloader. Internet Download Manager is the best.

This may increase your internet and download speed significantly. Similarly, you should disable any applications on your device when downloading. The applications you have running on your computer can take up a good chunk of your bandwidth, which can contribute to slower speeds.
For example, video streaming services like Netflix use a heavy amount of bandwidth. Temporarily disable the apps and see if that helps. To make it easier, try downloading one file at a time. Though this may seem counterintuitive, it can end up saving time. A router not only allows you to connect multiple devices, but it also acts as an antenna to extend the range of the Wi-Fi throughout your home.
The modem you have is typically provided by your service provider. Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your modem. If your download speed has been significantly slow and you saw no change in speed after restarting, it may be time for a new modem. If your speed increases when you are directly next to the modem, this is a good sign, in which case your router may be the issue. As mentioned, the router allows you to extend your connectivity range. If your device is too far away from the router, this could be impacting your download speed.
The location of your router can have a major impact on your download speed as well. Be mindful of where you are placing your router as some areas in your home may not have a strong connectivity signal.
If you have a large house, consider getting Wi-Fi extenders that can boost the range and increase your internet speed. Avoid putting your router in basements, bathrooms, cabinets, on the floor, or near microwaves and other home appliances.
Your router should be in a central location so the connection can reach throughout the entire home. Sometimes Wi-Fi can be tricky, in which case connecting to an Ethernet cable can quickly increase your download speed.
To do this, connect the Ethernet from your modem to your device. Hence on a dial up connection or a connection with less speed, it is not recommended to initiate parallel file downloads. Prioritize your file downloads and only download those things which you need immediately. You can resume the movie downloads later, if you are using a good download manager.
If the file downloads take a long time to finish, use a download manager and turn on file downloads when you are away from the computer. You may be taking your shower, having lunch or taking a short nap — just turn the downloads on and start doing other works.
