If your browser is Internet Explorer, go to FDM menu "Options | Settings", submenu "General | Essential" and change "Modify Internet Explorer's network identification" setting.
If you use other browser, name it.

Noticed to that some videos in flv fail to be downloaded! Such as:

They are blocked by Norton software, I think.

Are you sure it is FDM that is buggy? Do you have problems with regular downloads or with torrents? Did you use Windows Task Manager (or Process Explorer) to check which process takes so much RAM? Did you try to use FDM without antivirus and/or internet security software? Did you switch off any othe...

In the folder "Program files\Free Download Manager\Skins" you have link to a document "How to create a skin". Did you download and read that PDF?

In the past FDM always offered to download stuff, but now it behaves differently and doesn't open to download anymore. What changed to prevent automatic FDM integratiion with IE 8? Did the way installer change from past FDM version; I believe I have the latest version installed, so what's up? FDM i...

Some downloads cannot be resumed. You must live with it.

Why don't you try wget?

It is not a bug, it's an omission. Some fields in "Version info" resource are just missing. A bug is in the version number - it is 891.0.0.0, but it should be something like 3.0.891.0 or 3.4.891.0.
The same remark applies to all FDM exe and dll files.

Plugin in the latest alpha integrates with Opera 10.5x, but only partially. It does not block other plugins as it was earlier, it does add some options to Opera preferences (but not for all download types), and it does nothing more... What do you mean "nothing more"? Nothing is nothing, n...

FDM is 32-bit application so it works only with 32-bit browsers.

FDM is not working on my machine. Everytime I start a download I get the following error message: --------------------------- Error Free Download Manager is not properly installed!

It is a known problem with FDM, it does not only happen with 2 GB files, with 100 MB files it corrupts a download every 1 in 15 times. It is a problem with your system or internet connection, not with FDM. Last 30 days I have downloaded about 1000 files with no corruption at all. FDM did not downlo...

Your file has gone to Recycle Bin (like other deleted files) or to System Restore (if you used Shift+Delete).

Two annoying (and related) bugs: when you download a large list of files, FDM takes a lot of CPU when a file is downloaded. Also, when you quit and restart FDM with a large list of links, it takes around one minute to display its window (one minute is the amount of CPU to load the list !!!).Worst, ...
