Great Download Manager program to help you download files from the Internet.

Alternatively you can download the latest beta version of this software.

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!

What's New:

June 23; 6.3e

* No changes from +05 except that the "GetRight Vault" is not included. (Not enought people actually
used it to consider it well tested yet...)

June 20; 6.3d+05

* Another Opera 9.5 fix for "quotes" around URLs; didn't do right if GetRight wasn't running already.
* Signed with new digital signature.

June 19; 6.3d+04

* Fixed recover-lost making things uppercase (if done by double-clicking a .GetRight file.)
* Rename ReinstallVault to GetRight Vault, and making it more a "backup your downloads" service.
Also made clicking the vault button if it's not setup show a "Hide" option along with the "More Info",
Hiding removes the button and other vault things from the download status.
* Added a retry later to rename any files that didn't get the .GetRight removed.
Gives a minute or so for any file locking to have unlocked to try again.
Plus another try if you click the "Open this file" on the "finished a download" window too.
* Fixed disk-space-check for already segmented files
* Opera 9.5 passed extra "quotes" around URLs; fix to remove them.
* Changed a number of defaults (subscriptions off, games off/moved, some default toolbar button changes.)
