    I emailed the author regarding several serious bugs, and got confirmation on each of them. That was about a year and a half ago as I write this. They persist to this day.

    @Darkk:
    Win2000 is a dead OS.
    You should consider upgrading...

    W2k is still a supported Microsoft OS. I happen to dislike XP, though I own several copies, and absolutely won't be going to Vista, ever. I've mostly switched to Linux for day to day stuff.

    GetRight is listed as being W2k compatible, and it isn't (now). This 6.3e upgrade breaks 2k, and it has done so on lots of machines I have tested with. Still no movement on bug resolution from the author.

    Trial-ware 30 days limited! Why should I use Getright when there is Free Download Manager, Bitcomet, Flashget?

    I find it simply astonishing how terrible the developer of GetRight is at finding and fixing bugs, and how stupid people are who like this piece of crap.
