There are many advantages to enjoy when using GetGo Download Manager. The first thing you should know is that it enables you to download data much faster and that it is capable of downloading several items simultaneously. Furthermore, any interrupted downloads can be resumed at any time, without any risk to the data. Of course, these are features that other download managers have to offer as well, but GetGo Download Manager is significantly faster, more flexible and very comfortable.

GetGo Download Manager is absolutely free and it doesn't come with any restricted functions or hidden fees. It works on all modern Windows versions and it provides support for both 32 and 64-bit editions. Installing the software should not take more than a minute, even on older machines. Besides the program itself, you can also install browser plug-ins, for Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.

Although it looks a bit overloaded at a first glance, the user interface won't present any challenges. Its options are easy to spot and figuring out what each one does won't be a problem. The software allows you to switch between its main download management features and an integrated web browser, on which you can find download links for software, media files and any other type of contents.

All downloads are displayed in a table, along with various details, like size, speed, priority and others. A series of filters can be selected in a tree structure, on the left side of the window, to show nothing but active or inactive downloads, completed or failed ones and so on. It is also possible to filter downloads based on the downloaded contents. In other words, the program can show nothing but downloaded videos, music, pictures or software on its interface.

New downloads can be added manually to the list, by copying and pasting a download link on a small window, on which you can make other preparations, like choosing a storage folder, setting a priority or categorizing the download. Furthermore, you can choose how the software should behave with the new downloads. It can start the process right away or wait until you select it and hit a Start button. Alternatively, you can schedule downloads to start automatically according to a timetable of your choice.

Pros

The software is capable of downloading data quite fast. It comes with a built-in web browser, to help you find contents much faster. Its user interface has a modern design and its controls are easy to understand.

Cons

The floating box, on which you can drop download links doesn't stay on top of everything, which can make you stumble a bit. When it comes to downloading data from the Internet, GetGo Download Manager has everything you need to download it as fast and easily as possible.
