Thank you for the support over such a long time, it actually means a lot to hear things like that.

As I developer I understand how much that means thats why I sent it (along with the longevity of the app & coding and it being a reliable favorite)

Definitely liking the dark theme, too. Thought you did it because of browsers, however microsoft just recently annonced it for file manager (FYI) which I'm sure you're aware of (, too). Glad to see the updates.

EDIT: I may have to switch from my [suspicously!] frequently updated torrent client to yours. Little off-topic but did you use a (possibly OS) torrent lib? Only reason I'm asking is to know which one that may be...

Thanks!

I thought that silent updates had been gone away long time ago, but I was wrong. The build 6924 has been uploaded on February 22nd but it has NOT been announced in FDM 5.1 topic yet.
Users should be clearly informed about updates and bugfixes otherwise they stop reporting problems and using FDM…

Been a user since the 2/3.x days, and waiting _patiently_ for any new release (maybe just a little bit anxious for a few [file] bit rollbacks to appease some quirky intel rst releases, again no rush there -- managable). Keep up the great work over there (Clive is it?) ...

Don't worry, portableapps.com is safe. That's where I download most of my software.

I think you should read older messages before reiterating of old objections. FDM is available for so many years that it is general agreement it should NOT be renamed.
If you think something should be changed on the website, you are free to propose a better solution using "Suggest an idea" button.

Ops, I posted as guest.

But I also wanted add that not everyone knows what GNU is. Perhaps those are the people who fall for "free *whatever*" scams.

I love FDM and all but I think this website and how FDM is presented (its name too) makes it look like a scam. It's like it tries too hard to convince me that it's free, making me think that it's a scam because that's what other scam websites do.

First clue for me when going to this website is

If it wasn't for the GNU logo I'd probably stay away from FDM thinking it was yet another download manager scam.

So this is OSS? Where can I download the source code? There's a project FDM on SourceForge but it's not been updated since 2011 so I'd consider that stale. Does this website have anything to do with this project?

just coming along this site and have the question of code authenticity, then I read this

PGP, x509 or at least MD5 SHA1 etc

The audience that's likely to end up downloading a fake version of FDM is clearly not well conversant with stuff like PGP, MD5 and SHA1. Hell, I'm a pro and *I* still don't know what x509 is

I'd say your not a pro - and it's not a SW for me. Sorry to say.

This is a link for a very outdated FDM version. This version works OK with browsers available in Windows 98SE and Windows 2000, but it may not work properly with new browsers or new Windows versions. Yet it's still available on Sourceforge, see the link below.

I'm sorry, I don't know Chinese, I don't believe Google Translator and I may be wrong in following explanations.
* If you want to download older stable FDM versions, go to Sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/freedow ... 20Manager/
* If you want to download current FDM stable version, go to FDM download page: http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/download.htm
* If you want to download current beta/RC version use links provided on this forum. In most cases beta/RC versions are stable enough to be recommended for everyday use, but do always read the forum recommendations before installing.
* Do not use alpha/alfa versions if you are not advanced user.
