GET WHAT? ------------------------------------------------ GetRight is a piece of software classed as a download manager. "What's a download manager?" some of you are probably thinking! It's a small program that manages your downloads by adding them to a queue and downloading them one or several at a time. When there are many files to be downloaded, it is not good to start the downloads all at the same time as the bandwidth is distributed between the files to be downloaded so each file would download slower and be more prone to stalling and timing out. Therefore, it makes sense to download one at a time or in small batches and then only starting ... Read the complete review

I have been using Headlight Software's GetRight for well over a year now, and I have to say it has only improved with newer versions (the current version is 4.3 but there is now a beta of 4.5 available for download).

It is one of the handiest programs ever to be introduced if you have an unreliable connection or if your ISP ... Read the complete review

GetRight it a God sned of a program. I use it everytime I can when downloading anything from the internet for a number or reasons.

If like me your ISP cuts you off after so many hours of use and you have to reconnect, then this could be a valuable tools to have. Get right can also redial your ISP and continue downloads while you are asleep. Another great thing about it is you can have an order of priority. With normal downloads, firstly you can only have 2 at a time, if that was not enough ... Read the complete review

Ok Getright is as important to your downloading survival as hmmm little children are to the Vengaboys survival. Ok plain and simple if you don’t have this baby then your downloading is gunna be a chore and annoying. Ok so basically getright is a heavy down loaders dream it’s a programme that you down load (ironic ain’t it) and it mange’s your downloads for you and I mean mange. You can tell it when to come on and download i.e. programme in a time and it’ll hook your pc up for you (with all the right options in place) It will do your downloading and then like a good little kid, it will disconnect you. Pretty neat huh yeah I know ... Read the complete review
