How to download multiple big files on a browser

I have been using Freedownloadmanager for more than a decade now and I firmly recommend it too. Flashget has started bundling unnecessary toolbars in its software in the last years.

Thanks for the article. It works perfectly and I finaly get the Gegeek toolkit. The quality of this article is unbecoming my expectations from a ghack article. You should take the time to structure your article and review it thoroughly before you post. An open frank no judgmental assessment of various computer programs, sites and hardware.

That seems a bit rude. Only two things were noted: 1 A number of users had problems downloading a large file from a site; 2 The users needed some type of understanding about why they were encountering the problem and several solutions to solve the problem. The author listed four requirements for the programs he was introducing. The author warned, again as he always does , that many of the programs may have adware bundled within the setup file and how to avoid possible inadvertent installation of an unwanted program.

They have accumulated several serial numbers that have been used in giveaway promotions. I have tried two of them and IDM successfully registered with both. FDM has an option within the program to create a portable version. The download available from FDM is an installer and has no options to create it as portable during install, either.

While most of the portables I use are direct, some are from PortableApps. While I could create a FDM portable version by installing it first..

I do NOT want to install stuff, then create a portable version and then uninstall it — FDM, IMO, should perhaps simply just provide a portable zipped version or a portable option in the installer which I ran thru and it includes adding registry entries.

However, its their software, they can do what they like with it. Or you can just use universal extractor or zip for that matter if I remember correctly , and unzip the setup exe.

I usually use The Free Download Manager. Sometimes I use wget to continue downloads that get interrupted in firefox. Free Download Manager logs your download activity to their own server ip A few years back I remember trying FDM and noticed thru currports that several strange ip addresses kicked in when downloading. So, I decided to give it a whirl again with the current FDM version.. I then used Fiddle to check out more on what was happening.

The IP Porn sites are hosted, and the somewhat popular GOTD is hosted by the company. There is activity to a php page and server before that page gets loaded that is hidden unless you track the activity of FDM.

In this case, you use the program and the price is data collection it seems. When I opened FDM, no outbound traffic was observed. Load the url and look at it. Note: I have automatic updates turned off, I do not use the mirrors option, I do have "display opinions when downloading" checked, I do not check downloads before downloading if they are malicious.. No other outbound connections are made except the actual downloads. No information about what I am doing is sent.

Also note that the address I captured FDM contacting is. Mozilla had one of these. The -c parameter should be mentioned to continue an interrupted download as should be the wgetrc file. Sorry, something went wrong. As Hue uses Knockout. Similar request from my side, if you are lucky and your files have an index in their pattern use browser "copy as curl" and then script via bash.

Otherwise if your files have very dynamic patterns you need to add another script step to fetch the list of file-names. Maybe a v1 with Joseph idea, then an Oozie batch job to compress everything into a single zip? Appreciate if you could give me any pointers as to what i might be doing wrong.

I would also like to download folders. My schools research cluster only allows us to use Hue, not SSH. So thats the only way we can interface with it. Currently, there is a 'Compress' action that will zip multiple files or folders together, so that they can be downloaded in one file similarly to Google Drive.

Thanks, I'm having difficulty finding documentation on the "compress" action in hue. As this returns a lot of false positives about file compression in Hadoop and Hue.

Can you point me in the right direction? We can combine with a Promise. But what happens if we need to download a huge amount of files at once? Using Promise. Your code will send a thousand requests at once. There are many problems with that approach:. The solution I thought about is to divide the files into multiple groups.

Instead of starting to download them all at once by Promise. After finishing those 5, I will start another pack. To implement this, we can do a custom logic. Or a simpler way I could suggest is to utilize third-party library bluebirdjs. The library implemented many helpful promise functions. After setup, it runs in the systray and offers to install its extensions, depending on the browser you've downloaded it from. The program shows a window when you click a download link, along with the file name and default saving directory.

Click inside the name box to set a new filename, and click the folder icon to specify a new folder for saving. Click Download to start the job. If you click Cancel instead, the file will be fetched by the browser's download manager this can be disabled from Settings while FDM can be set to react only when the Alt key is pressed. Another way of creating a downloading job is by clicking the blue plus button on the upper left side of the main window, or by dragging and dropping URLs in this area.

FDM is able to download torrents and multiple files in bulk, resume broken downloads caused by interruptions, limit the downloading traffic to become lighter on resources usage, skip files by extensions, and preallocate disk space for very large files you can set the minimum number of gigabytes. Once the browser extensions are installed, IDM brings up a window to the screen when you click a download link.
