Hi Guys,

Love the software package. THe best thing ever invented.

I use windows and linux and would like to ask whether you will be compiling a version of FDM for linux at any stage. If so when would that be.

Many thanks

actually FDM works quite well if you have wine on. Just download the installer and install fdm onto wine. Also make sure u have mfc42 (or something like that) installed using winetricks and you are good to go.
do the following :

then run


Then run the installer and install fdm within your linux. You should be up and running.

Should be instead.

Linux and Windows user, tho I only use Chrome on Linux.

Using WINE beats the purpose of running Linux in this case (and things run more sluggish for me when using WINE)

Also: I can't install Chrome with WINE because it says it can't connect to Google update.

I was one of the first people, if not THE first, who asked for NoScript when Chrome came out.. the few I've seen after all this time are insufficient. No Google mod dared to reply on Google forums. They ofcourse have Google Ads, which I threw in their face.

This was my reason to stick with Firefox on Windows.
Now that I want to try it out on Linux I'm disappointed once again. I dont like the commercials/ads but at least on Linux I dont have to worry much about getting any other stuff like viruses. Not one decent filegrabber (like downloadhelper which detects media) exists and the next best thing, a downloadmanager is made for Windows now.

Dont wanna whine but as I said.. kinda disappointed. I've read FDM is now Open Source. Well if that doesn't warrant a debian linux release then I don't know what does. Until it reaches Linuxland, I'm gonna keep hoping that Mozilla will implement the multiple processes in Firefox (1 process per tab system)

just my 2 cents

HI

I've given FDM RC 3.5 a try under ( WINE Software- The program that is used to run MS Windows applications under many other operating systems like LINUX, MAC, Free BSD & more).




Unlike the old version of FDM (3.0) , it does not become frozen .
& no need to delete all the files that fdm put in (documents & sittings folder ) after the second or the third time u work on it after installation.

But some crashes happen from time to time (When U add a link to download in FDM - not always !!!)

Those are good news by all means !!!

please notify other people about tihis

ٍscreenshot from my Computer ( UBUNTU OS ):



--------------------------------------------
for browser-integration U can add Flashgot for firefox so it can detect FDM

after installing the add-on put this link:



After that a new message will show up!



Click on : I'll be careful I promise

then a list of choices will show up in the screen



go & look for



like here!!



& change its value into true ( from false into true )

Congratulations!!!!

It's important to change one of the default options of FDM

that to click on sittings from options menu

then go downloads/essential:
& make sure that :"" Automatically remove completed downloads from list "" is active!

or the program will become frozen again & again !

To use the FDM with WINE on Ubuntu or another Linux distro, just do as in this tutorial http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/board/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=15427, and thanks to the FDM 3.8, there is no more the error who freeze the program ! ! ! ! ! Developers, thanks for FDM ! ! ! !

INFO > From version 3.8 FDM stopped the use of the library "mfc42.dll" and began to use the "mfc100.dll", who no more cause the freezing bug in WINE

I no posted images because have in tutorial...

Sorry for my bad english...

INFO ² >>> The functional version of the FDM is 3.8 BETA 2 build 1051, the BETA 3 build 1058, is not compatible.

Download (BETA 2 version ):

Portable > http://www.4shared.com/file/m3mg1dhZ/Fr ... table.html

Installer > http://www.4shared.com/file/crIS9Oaf/Fr ... _BETA.html

I go test the other version and post the results here.... for the time being the best version is 3.8 BETA 2 build 1058... download here in topic...

At the moment, the 3.8 RC versions, are not compatible....

At this moment, the last stable version (3.8 build 1173), is fully functional with WINE, tested in Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric). Have fun ! ! ! ! !

At the momente FDM ver. 3.9 build 1249 is compatible, with minor errors in WINE... Tested in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin... Have fun with Linux !

Any newer info on running FDM 3.9.x under Ubuntu/Mint?

No, as far as I know.

Does it mean that I can follow suggestions from this topic to install FDM in WINE and it will work? What VC runtime is needed now? Can I use 64-bit WINE?

There is windows and mac version of FDM. but no version for linux. I used FDM in my windows device but for some problems i moved to linux and now im missing FDM. Will there be a version for linux ever?
