[edit] Pros
- Has a clean looking GUI
- Has a simple interface, with "Simple Mode", "Advanced Mode", and "Expert Mode"
- Integrates well with a wide range of web browsers: Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 and higher, Netscape Communicator 4.0 (and Mozilla) and higher, Opera 4.0 and 5.x (and later versions via oGet free software), NetCaptor 6.1, NeoPlanet 5.2, MSN Explorer 6.0
- Has a FTP browser
- Can store your user name and password
[edit] Annoyances
- Changes your download folder icon, overwriting your own preferences. In most case this will not be an issues, but it can be annoying if you have already specified an icon for your download folder.
- Keeps a translucent icon on the bottom right of your screen whenever the program is running, regardless of whether you are doing any Internet related activities at all. This can be disabled, however.
- Only available for Windows
[edit] Problems
- On some complex or bloated websites instead of accepting the file as it should, ReGet can download the 'module.php' file or some similar file that dispenses and redirects the browser to the correct file. In most cases problem can be fixed by saving login and password for that site in Site Manager or by switching to the Basic Integration mode.
