Free Download Manager version 3.9 in Windows 8
Free Download Manager is a download manager for Windows and macOS.
FDM was initially proprietary software, but with the release of version 2.5 it has been free software.[2] Starting with version 3.0.850 (15 April 2010), source code is no longer provided as a packaged download, but is available in the project's Subversion repository for versions 3.9.x and earlier.[3] The source code for version 5.0 and newer is not available and the GNU General Public License agreement has been removed from the app.
Free Download Manager received a 2007 Webuser Gold Award.[4]
