DLExpert

DLExpert is a download manager that supports multiple threads. It's capable of resuming paused tasks and focuses on speed. The tool comes equipped with some advanced options which can be tackled not only by experienced users, but also by less skilled ones.

Simple setup and interface

Setting it up takes minimal time and effort, thanks to the fact that there aren't special options, software requirements, or third-party offers involved.
In order to gain access to the main app window, it's necessary to select the UI language. Additional ones can be downloaded from the developer's website.
As far as the GUI is concerned, DLExpert opts for a normal window with a well-structured and familiar layout.

Create and manage downloading jobs

New downloading jobs can be added to the task list by specifying the URL, saving directory and file name, comment, authorization details (if required), and maximum number of threads. Plus, you can allow file splitting and set the minimum size of a piece, as well as enable FTP with PASV or LIST, together with HTML with the original file time and authorization. Log files can be created as well.
In the task list, you can check out the URL, status, total and downloaded size, progress (percent), bps, total and estimate remaining time, along with the number of threads allocated to each entry.

Control tasks and configure settings

It's possible to pause, resume, stop, delete and edit tasks, copy the URL of a selected entry, create and manage bookmarks, explore file directories, as well as open downloaded files.
Furthermore, the application can use a proxy configuration to connect to the Internet. You can specify the number of maximum active jobs and time of retries, disable confirmation dialogs when redirecting URLs, create logs, and so on.
