It can split downloaded files into sections, downloading each section simultaneously, for an increase in downloading speed from 100% to 500%. This, coupled with its powerful and easy-to-use management features, helps you take control of your downloads like never before.

    I have to agree that this software is bad news. DO NOT install it or even run the installer, it is riddled with spyware and other junk.

    I trusted this piece of SH#%$#$#%$ and, accidentally, found a lot of traffic generated by this program. Initially, I think was the "Bit torrent" network, I disable all of them, restarted program, and same behavior, a lot of connections. I checked just one IP: China. No men, this is bad. I don't know how antivirus software doesn't mark this piece of SH&%%$%$^!!

    The older version I was using for a long time. Then I saw FlashGet 2.0 Beta 4 and 5. I tried Beta 5 and the Chinese installation wasn't too convincing but I didn't mind.

    Then after reading these reviews I was thinking "Yeah right, spyware in FlashGet please". I opened it up and I saw tons of ads in the window, and a popup right after install too.

    The ads advertise spyware. So once you click on them your infected. I'd advice to do what other users say and go to olderversion.com and get 1.8. I used 1.96 just fine no problems.

    Although 2.0 Beta 5 has a nice UI it's all in Chinese and it differently installs spyware!!

    Unfortunaly, this product has been going backwards since after ver 1.73.128....
    I hope they fix the problems they have introduced by trying to make it into a "swiss army knife", ie a do everything downloader....
    ie also a BitTorrrent & eMule client....
    And since ver 1.73.128 they dont even have a Help file......
    And their support forum is hopeless if you dont communicate in chinese....
