This tutorial will guide you to download files using a download manager called “Free Download Manager (FDM)”

Why using FDM (or any other download manager)? Because it allows you to resume downloads if you get disconnected and much more features including a faster download.

As the name says FDM is a totally free download manager. No ads, nag screen or limitation.

You can download Free Download Manager (FDM) from www.freedownloadmanager.org

Lets download and install it first!

Go to www.freedownloadmanager.org

Click on the “Download” link.

Download and install it.

How to install? Save it to a location and run the downloaded installer. Follow instructions.

Now when we have it installed, lets go downloding a file.

Lets run the program first if its not already running. Click on the “Free Download Manager” icon on the desktop

Now we are ready to download. There can be basically tho scenarios. In first place where you get the “save target as..” option (ex. web pages). And in the other, where you dont get it! (ex. msn conversation)

Now lets deal with when we dont have the “save target as…” option

Scenario 2: Downloading from msn, yahoo, irc etc.

Say your friend gave you a file link over msn messenger.

Step 1:
Select and copy the link from msn. (right click and select “copy”)

Soon the download will start. We will get the file in the desired location when done.

    Well you can use FDM to download from rapidshare… You need to set the password for the site…

    Go to site manager and enter rapidshare.com and enter your login info.. Remember, if do a auerry it will get the file size and change the URL to a particular server… If you copy that url again to fdm, it wont work…

    Me too. I have a Premium Account too.
    I have the same Problem like SoundFreak. I tried many ways with Password and acountnumber.

    I Believe, with FDM it isnt possible to download from Rapidshare.
