Does anyone know of any free download managers that work with Opera? Thinking that the built in manager isn't brilliant.

i use Free Download Manager

I've already mentioned this marc, get with it

Get whatever external one you like the features of (i prefer FDM too), and install oGet

MarcLister · 31-01-2008, 18:19

I knew you did. I just couldn't find it.

Does FDM work with Opera on its own or do I need oGet?

LeperousDust · 31-01-2008, 20:37

It does integrate itself with Opera, and by editing a few ini files you can have it so it's part of the right click menu... But oGet is easier, it leaves the opera download manager there, and you can use the external download manager if you want more control over bigger files or whatever... You can fully silently integrate it but some php scripts go mental when the referer changes and what not and think you're leeching... I would advise against fully integrated and silent, its not a graceful fallback...

Cheers. I'll play with oGet later.

LeperousDust · 01-02-2008, 22:31

oGet, not iGet you apple fanboi

MarcLister · 01-02-2008, 22:35

Meh same thing.

MarcLister · 03-02-2008, 14:15

I tried oGet but it didn't catch any links and pass them to FDM. I can right-click on stuff and send it that way but I don't want to do that. What am I doing wrong?
