Finally a program that really makes sense for
all us Shareware Junkies. There are some other programs out there
that do some of the things Download Butler does, but not all of
them. The Download Butler manages all those files you are
constantly in such a hurry to get, but a week from now have no
idea what they are.
Here is how it works, you click on a file link
just like normal, now though the Butler is on duty. Lets say the
download is complete, then the butler pops up asking in which of
the tabbed download folders you have made you want to store this
program, that’s only the beginning, in most cases it has
found the dialog that describes the file, and offers to store
that for you. If it does not have the description, you have the
opportunity to enter it. Then it even stores the URL where you
got it from. Joy! Joy!
Next, it even has a built in file extraction
program, you may though choose to us an external program for
extracting. You can even import into the Butler all those files
you have scattered all over. When you open one of the tabs, the
open window shows you the file name, a shortened version of the
file description(You can hold the mouse pointer over it and in
the bottom of the window you can see most, if not all of the file
description in the bottom of the window, there is also of course
a view option to see the complete description.) You see the date
downloaded, file size, file errors, unzip date, extracted to, and
Web URL.
The evaluation version only lets you create 3
tabs and process the first 10 files in the listing. Hey I
registered right away, this is an invaluable tool if you download
lots of files.
Now has better support for self-extracting
archives as well as UNIX compressed files. Supports ZIP, ARC,
ARJ, ZOO, TAR, GZIP, LHA and SFX(Self Extracting) compressed
files.
