The new site looks so much better!

No mention of metalink in the features tho? That would be nice.

2.5 seems great, this version went through a lot of testing.

I'm sure many people will be ecstatic that FDM is open source now!

[Mdresvyankin]

Thanks a lot it really great. GPL it's better than something else.

One question - is it better to install v.2.5 over an existing version (i.e. 2.1 build 493) or better to uninstall the old version and then install v.2.5?

[Xorios]

Thanks a lot it really great. GPL it's better than something else.

I agree, thanks a lot.
I was happily surprised to see that FDM 2.5 was released under GNU General Public License.

Maybe it would help developing a Linux version, that would be great!

[no_one]

Yah, a linux versions would be great!

Love the new site design too.

At this page freedownloadmanager.org/download.htm there are two download links:

files.freedownloadmanager.org/fdminst.exe (5469kb)
downloads.sourceforge.net/freedownload/fdm_2.5.700_inst.exe (5471kb)

These two files are not of the same size, why? Which is the latest?

[Sanket]

I want to realy congragulate all the people behind the success of FDM.
In very less time it has become one of the most prefered download manager.
Keep up the good work!!
