[edit] Spyware? Certainly
Isn't FlashGet spyware? -- Toytoy 11:00, Apr 21, 2005 (UTC)
- I'm sure that FlashGet is partly malware because Avast! detected the FlashGet toolbar used in Internet Explorer as adware. --Bruin_rrss23 (talk) 09:46, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

What they said "Optional" adware. I have never seen anything overthere about this option. Moreover, Lavasoft's adaware always detect it as a piece of malware.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 149.135.12.112 (talk) 05:47, 28 July 2006
[edit] Ethic.. crack link !?
Is it okay to link to a site that distributes crack/serial information? 2—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 4.202.172.138 (talk) 23:08, 23 April 2005
- Of course it is NOT okay. --Anthony Ivanoff 15:08, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] advertisments
isn't it wrong to show a way to get rid of ads without paying a shareware software?It is not much different from giving crack method to get rid of ads
I've removed the "how to remove advertisements" section; it is unencyclopedic. [1] —Quarl (talk) 2006-01-15 03:22Z

[edit] not very encyclopedic...
Is it really "encyclopedic" to write sections about how to remove a piece of software, whatever it is? External links would've been more appropriated Omega Said 20:30, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Seems like Flashget is now Freeware. is it?
Version 1.72 (2006.5) whatsnew quote: "* All free !!! * Context menu add to Opera 8.x"
I am not 100% sure if it has gone free. The licence.txt file (found after installation) is dated back in 29/7/2005, and still states "The SOFTWARE isn't free". I did a clean uninstall, and installed the new version, then in the About box says "this copy is licenced to <my windows username>". I did not see any banners, and registration nags (forwarded my clock some years to the future :) ) Randomgrk 20:39, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
- its really always been freeware... they just used to try to get some money from ppl who didnt know anything about software... they probably took it out cuz ppl complained --1698 19:39, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] screenshot
its a gif
whoever was brave (or stupid) enough to install this should retake it in png--Froth 01:33, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
- Done. Cynical 22:01, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
- Speaking of the screenshot, it should be updated to show off its new look. (Zero3K)
[edit] about last revert
the older versions of flashget is not more ad free the the current one, and the references was duplicate so i removed it. --1698 15:43, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] flashget website unavalible
There is a weird problem i cant access flashget website as of 29/12/2006, i am not sure when this as started but does anyone else experience this issue or know something about it?--88.153.65.18 16:10, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
- I tried to access the website just now and it works. As of accessing the website yesterday, I don't know (since I switched over to Free Download Manager). You might have been affected by the international link failure in Taiwan or the website was taken down for maintenance... I don't know.--Bruin_rrss23 (talk) 07:24, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
- well i think it is the link failure since i tryed pinging it and i just get the packets lost, so that means that the website isnt blocked but has connection trouble, well if you know a place where i can get updates on the link failure repair status then thanks (p.s: my ip changed because i restarted my router)--88.153.48.205 12:43, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
