What Is GetRight?
GetRight is a Download Manager program to help you download files from the Internet.
Most people have already experienced the problem...you are downloading a file, and your modem gets disconnected, or call waiting interrupts, or your computer crashes, or any number of other problems. Then you have to restart the download from the very beginning, losing all the time you had already spent.
GetRight solves this problem by allowing you to resume a download. If you got part of the file before the problem, GetRight will restart the download in the middle so it only gets the rest of the file, without having to restart from the beginning. This makes downloading your files much easier and faster.
GetRight has many other more advanced features to help you download the files--from re-dialing the modem automatically to turning off the computer when it is done getting the files (so you can just leave it alone to do the work!) You can even set a time when it should dial the modem to get the files...so it can do all the work in the middle of the night while you sleep.
There are too many other features to list here. If you have ever thought "I wish when downloading I could do ...", there"s a good chance GetRight already does it!
GetRight 5.0 Beta 2 Bugs
- The new QuickSync and ServerSync items need better checks and handling if your list is full.
- "NoSplashes" no longer works. Really is a side effect of the protection system which is what is showing the splash screen now. No way to have it not yet hopefully in a future version! But beta 2 does hide the splash much sooner than beta 1.
- Some versions of Windows seem to cause GetRight to crash when closing the the GetRight Browser using the X in the titlebar...but not using File->Exit. Wierd, still working on it.
