LeechGet is a download manager that uses a very nice, modern, Microsoft Outlook-like user interface and seamlessly integrates into Internet Explorer, allowing you to easily start and manage your downloads. In addition, it provides many features, such a automatic downloading, resume of broken downloads, a download timer, automatic hang-up and shutdown and more. A built-in web parser lets you download complete website with all images and scripts in no time. LeechGet also provides a history of your downloaded files, sorted by day, week and month. Additional features include a file drop icon, a speed monitor and much more.

The prior version of this program was LeechGet 2007, version 2.1 which was released over two years ago. I have been comparing that version to the current and so far the only difference I have found is the file size. Is this version really an update or just a just an attempt to remarket an aging stagnant product? Regardless, even in it's day it would have only received two stars due to it's disjointed GUI.

I had the previous version and ended up uninstalling it due to the bugs.. Never recieved an answer to my questions/comments/problems sent via their web form to their site, on a few occasions.. Its nice when it works, but somehow it lost its connection to IE freuqently and didn't like file transfers from the admin pages of my router even when bypassed and "use IE" was used to download

A few years ago I was keen on this program. Simple interface, downloaded stuff alrightbut honestly it hasn't changed a bit! I'd like to see the developers work on new features like bit torrent support and better lan usage as well as few tweaks here and there. Here's to a good app that should be getting better (if worked on).

It's hopeless - it hasn't changed in years. Free Download Manager is a much better tool. Avoid.
