DESCRIPTION

iGetter is a powerful, full featured download manager and accelerator.

iGetter can greatly improve the speed of your downloads using segmented downloading.

In addition it allows auto resume on broken downloads, queue filtering by various criteria, site explorer, history list, scheduling downloads for low traffic periods, auto redial on broken connection, auto hang-up and shut down on completion, and much more.

WHAT'S NEW
Version 2.7.5:
  • Added a "Download Selection with iGetter" contextual menu command in Safari, Camino and Firefox browsers.
  • Added support for importing ".urls" and ".lst" files.
  • Added support for new Internet connection types: 1 - 20 Mbps Cable/DSL and 1Gbps Ethernet.
  • Improved "Download All with iGetter" function in Safari, Camino and Firefox to extract links directly from the DOM browser model.
  • Improved iGetter Paste command that allows addition of multiple URLs for downloading.
  • Improved iGetter Copy command to copy all URLs of selected downloads separated by a new-line character.
  • Enhanced "Import URLs list" function that allows importing URLs separated with white-space characters from any text file.
  • Enhanced drag and drop functionality to handle text files with URLs separated with white-space characters.
  • Fixed "Export selected files" function to export URLs sorted by the queue order number or if completed by the finished time.
  • Fixed "Export selected files" function to properly encode exported URLs.
  • Fixed a bug that in some rare cases caused a new download to be added in suspended state.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented proper activation on license moving.
  • Fixed a bug that caused a crash in iGetter when the default download folder is deleted.
  • Some other fixes and improvements.

AN.ONYMOUS  I have already reviewed iG (under the name "Anonymous", strangely taken meanwhile by another user) and I could say how much I like it.

To me the only important thing still missing in iG is the possibility to change the default cookie source. Until now, Safari is the only default "option" and does not address well the cookies for iG.

So, I have to modify each download to replace the cooky source from Safari to Camino.

I guess that it should not be very difficult to allow choosing another default browser. PLEASE RECTIFY !

MEEGO  With Snow Leopard, iGetter fails to capture downloads on Safari. It works fine on Firefox though.

And Presenta's website has been down for 2 days already... weird and a little upsetting for a customer

DOOBIEXX  Anybody find igetter popping up in your browser contextual menu, specifically Safari? I can't get it to work. [with Snow Leopard.] The app runs but when I try to have it in my contextual items so I can select links, control (right) click them to "download selection." No more prompt. I want to know if these is just me or others experiencing the same?

ANONYMOUS  There is a way to have Rapidshare's PW and ID automatically entered in iGetter. Just use the download manager and enter the following links

http://*.rapidshare.com/

http://.rapidshare.com/

http://.rapidshare.com/files/

I found the support team very efficient and friendly albeit (understandably) a bit slow.

iGetter Forum is also FULL of interesting tricks that make this app the perfect download manager (except its documentation which is useful for starting but soon limited vis-a-vis the power of this app.).

ANONYMOUS  Nice app. Does a great job at batch downloading. Also enables restricting its share of the bandwith so that it works in the background without impeeding parallel browsing. Also enables loading lists of urls to download. Excellent also at resuming interrupted downloads.

There are four isues, though :

- Poor documentation (eg for importing download lists). Some nice features are certainly missed by lack of a relevant documentation.

- When downloading several files from a server like Rapidshare, one has to type the site's password and ID for each file. This is because the the url changes at each file before the site's address is mentionned (eg. "http://123456789/rapdishare.com/... "), the everchanging 123456789 code preventing iGetter to recognize that the same site is concerned. It would be EASY to let users fix a default Pw and ID without having to retype them for each one of a series of files downloaded from the same site. When this is offered, I buy iGetter.

- The demo version launches iGetter at Startup. Making the downloads in standby seable by anybody present et start up. Dos anybody know how to de-activate this nuisance (Apparently the usual system tools cannot).

- iGetter still fails with some servers which are allergic to download managers. This is so even though only one file and only one segment are downloaded at the same time. iGetter should improve its capacity to remain undetected as a download manager.

CSCARNEY  Now that the Leopard-compatible version is out, iGetter does what it claims to do very well. It manages downloads, and accelerates download speeds by opening multiple connections.

For me, iGetter's killer feature is "mirror sharing." It will automatically share mirror information with other users, saving you the hassle of having to manually enter mirror information for every download.

Good job, Presenta!

MUDFLAPPER  I second that. Here's what I posted on the SD page:

My copy of Speed Download updated itself to version 5 without my permission, now it won't accept my old license code. I received a second license code from the recent MacHeist bundle, so I tried that. Nope.

This is NOT cool.

JEREMYY  iGetter should offer like $15 or less for MacHeist buyers to upgrade to their current 2.6 and free upgrade to 3.x series.

I bet this will grab a lot of new users.

RPPHOTO  Me too, I'm coming back to iGetter due to the super-sleazy behavior by the Speed Download people. I refuse to continue support for a company like that. iGetter is polished, Mac-like and nice to use, I don't know why I ever stopped using it... .

SCHMELDING  The contextual menu item made my install of the latest Safari beta 3 not able to right-click. I removed the "iGetterIMBundle" from the InputManagers folder and I got my right-click back. Tiger 10.4/Intel.
