Download files the easy way


Caption: GetRight lets you schedule overnight downloads and resumes partial (failed) downloads so you don't have to start again from scratch

If you use a modem, downloading lots of files off the Web is a pain. With each file you start downloading, surfing speed diminishes; and if you have six or seven files to download, Web browsing comes to a screeching halt. HeadLight Software's GetRight manages downloads and makes them easy. Just click a file in your browser, and GetRight puts it in its database. It will automatically dial in to your Internet service provider and download the files while you do something that doesn't require bandwidth ù like sleep. As a bonus, this utility will also resume failed downloads so you don't need to wait another hour for that 20MB file to download. GetRight is on this month's CD. For more information, see www.getright.com.
