| 2024-11-12 |  | | en | Ben my go-to download manager for a few years now and it still works great with more features and less ads than most. |
| 2024-11-09 |  | | en | I absolutely LOVE how this works. I've TRIED to use jDownloader 5-15 times in the last 10+ years? I've NEVER gotten jDownloader to do what Free Download Manager does SEAMLESSLY. I LOVE being able to 'intercept downloads'. I LOVE having Firefox (and Chrome) plugins. I'm now installing this on my 3rd machine. I've had NO problems so far. When it comes to the 'Mobile App'? I wish that FDM would merely 'queue up' a download ON MY DESKTOP. THAT would make this worth paying for. I'm NOT a 'mobile first guy'. I have 110tb on my desktops. I don't have ANY mobile devices more than 128 internal + 128gb SD. |

| 2024-11-04 |  | | en | Your fdm software is not working properly. I have downloaded it to my windows laptop. But the problem is when i try something to download large files then after few mb of download i pause the download for my limited mobile network, and try another day to download it. But next day when try to resume it then it shows me NO Resume support everytimes. For that reason I failed to download many files. I download the fdm extension from chrome and attach with the software but the problem is still same and i change internet then also i faced same problem into it. can you provide some solution for it or fix the issue? |
