Re: FDM 5.1 Beta

FDM is very slow , getting the URL, entering another filename to be stored and also downloading. I monitored the download of the 32 bit version of FDM itself and it took 5 Minutes(!) to download 38MB. Process Monitors Log reveals that there are (unnecessary) checks on all files in the history (befo...
