It is also compatible with various transfer protocols, from HTTP to eMule (and FTP, of course). This can mean better download speeds as well as improved downloading stability. While earlier versions were ad-supported, there is currently a zero-adware and zero-spyware edition on offer, and the newest version of the program can also automatically signal a user’s antivirus software to “kick in” and scan a download after it has finished.įlashGet is equipped with multi-server hyper-threading transportation support, which means it can split the files being downloaded and use more than one point for parallel transfers.
The installer was also converted to Chinese making it difficult for many users to install and remove the software.FlashGet is a download management utility with integration support for various web browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and Internet Explorer. Some of the ads were aggressively popping out of the system tray, causing much inconvenience. On April 4, 2010, FlashGet 3.4 was released containing adware and other undisclosed and unauthorized Chinese applications. A malicious FGUpdate3.ini modified for exploit and introduced directly through the developer's server could cause FlashGet to download malware to the computer without alerting the user. There is also some concern about FlashGet downloading every file indicated by its FGUpdate3.ini file that is downloaded from the developer every time FlashGet is started. It supports HTTP, FTP, Microsoft Media Services, RTSP, BitTorrent and since version 1.8.4 eDonkey downloads.įlashGet has suffered from security flaws in its update mechanism which caused users to become infected with trojan viruses. It can split files to download into sections, and download each section simultaneously. It can download a sequence of files and it can download a file from multiple locations. It was originally available in either paid or ad-supported versions, the latter of which included an Internet Explorer Browser Helper Object (BHO).įlashGet can be integrated with web browsers such as Avant Browser, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Opera, Netscape, Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, Maxthon and SeaMonkey.
