Advantages: Saves re-downloading

Disadvantages: Perhaps you like re-downloading..

What is right? Do I have to get right? What if I get wrong? Well, don’t be flummoxed. This is not some moralistic righteous-seeking product, as its name may suggest, but one hell of a useful product for all of you web surfers.

How often have you encountered the extremely irritating and time-wasting feeling when you’ve reached 97% of that ten megabyte download – and then your phone line disconnects. Aaarrghh! Well do not despair any longer. Ladies & Gentleman, GetRight has entered the building.

GetRight is an extremely easy to use and customisable piece of equipment. Instead of using your normal Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator to download software, you simply install GetRight. It then monitors your clicking and downloads files – such as .exe and .mp3 files. The good thing about this software is that it will resume your downloads. In practical terms, this means that if your computer crashes and reboots, your modem disconnects or your file connection is lost, you just reload GetRight and begin downloading where you left off – so simple yet so effective.

There are, believe it or not, some Internet users who download huge file (often over 50MB). For these such people GetRight is invaluable. They can download 10MB one day, then disconnect, and resume the next day. In other words, they can download a file, disconnect, and then resume downloading at any time in the future.

GetRight may sound simple but don’t be fooled: it has plenty of features to keep even the tweakers happy. You can schedule GetRight to disconnect after a certain period of time, search for alternate, faster file locations and even utilise the new segmented downloading feature – download one file using up to six different locations for extra speed and maximum use of bandwidth.

As GetRight is available as shareware there is absolutely no excuse not to use it. And let me tell you that you’ll soon discover tha
t this is one piece of software that you’ll wonder how you lived without.
