Download Express
« on: October 28, 2008, 12:27:34 AM »
Have down loaded, "Download Express" and installed it. Question, When I go to download a file with it, should it start up automatically when I click on what I want to down load, or do I have to hold down "ctrl" and "alt" each time and then click on the file I want to download? Also have tried several down loads and a few seconds later I get a musical tone and it stops ??? Incomplete down load I guess. No error messages ??? Thanks for any help. ;D

I feel download express is a pretty poor application it is lacking in user configuration and in my tiral of it, it lasted less than a day before I got rid of it.

There are other download managers check out somewhere line snapfiles.com that will have many different download managers. You would need to check which work
weith winME.

Most download managers you can configure to start when you click on a download link you can in a lot of cases right click on the link and select download with your installed download manager. Some links are strange in that they don't point directly at the download file and may not work in that way.

Hi Hines,

Try this link ... http://www.snapfiles.com/Freeware/downloader/fwdown.html ... for download managers.

My suggestions would be Free Download Manager but be sure to check out some of the others and view the screenshots as well as read the user opinions.

That isn't only an issue with download express as the link doesn't point you 'directly' to the file but to a page that starts off the download process.

I think I know how to use a download manager  and firefox is my browser of choice.

There is no way to set a default download location, there is no way to have it kick off a scan of the downloaded file, it hasn't had any development since 2007 they were the main reasons I recall that it got the push.

I've also used it without any problems on a Vista Ultimate System.
