    I apreciate the efforts of the author but there is a great paradox in this work.People use wget because is a light download manager.This gui is a memory hog for the .NET integration.Better option for people is another wget gui called Wackget

    Was an orbit user, but it consistently had download issues. Took me half an hour to get 58% of 36.5mb on the fastest connection in town and vwget did it without hesitation in less than 3 minutes. I torrent if you are wondering.
    No install and my firewall knows it by heart. Thanks

    Is there some way that the user can enter their proxy and port? I've searched every place possible but could come up with nothing!

    I like this much better than orbit which gave me issues of security upon first installing. This does not need to be a FF 'extension' because flashgot handles it.
    NOW it "fails to initializes properly...", maybe it's that new dotnet3.5 bs-?

    Could be nice if not written using .NET, 30MB total RAM+Virtual is too much for such "simple" tool, .NET is definitly not memory optimized.
