akhtara7 Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 HiDoes anyone know of how to replace the Windows Download Manager with a different program?I have written my own download manager and would like it to be loaded when someone clicks on a downloadable link. For example Download Accelerator always loads when a download is needed automatically and i would like my program to do the same.Thanks in advace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 :welcome: to the forum.I don't wish to be dismissive but is there a demand for an alternative to the one in Windows? I find the one I already have as part of Windows quite adequate and wouldn't think about installing any other.Again, please take this in the right way but, isn't it a fundamental part of developing a program for you to have the knowledge of the means of installing it.All credit to you on the development but I feel your efforts may have been misdirected. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akhtara7 Posted May 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Thanks for the reply,The Download manager i have written is at least 150-200% faster and for some one on the basic dial up connection being able to speed up the downloads is beneficialRegards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Ah! I see.Perhaps I was a bit too quick with my response. I'm on 1mbps and I forget how slow other setups can be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellie2 Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 I moved your topic, I thought it would be more appropriate in the software forum.... can't help you with your question I'm afraid but I'm sure some one might be able to. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akhtara7 Posted May 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Sorry about that, i was just thinking is this the correct category for such a problem, obviously not :huh: ThanksAsif :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 I would have thought that there are quite enough good and fast free ones already written ? e.g.Download ExpressStar DownloaderDownload ManagerNet TransportFresh DownloadWinGetLeechGet 2004DL ExpertNetSpiderNetAntsGetItand thats only the ones that I have personally tried.(Plus the dozens that you have to pay for !)I do admire your industry/initiative/ingenuity - but surely there must be other tools which would reap a better return on your work ?
