@ Kevin –
Kevin, please send us a link on files you’ve tried to download at support@eltima.com in order we could investigate the problem.

I needed to download some very large (several hundred megabyte) files from a remote FTP server… and throttle the connection so I didn’t hog all the bandwidth from my co-workers. Folx seemed like a great tool, so I downloaded the latest version. Unfortunately, about half the downloaded files were corrupt. I had to download again using just firefox. Using a binary compare, I found the files downloaded by folx were not identical to those download with firefox. The firefox downloaded files were not corrupt. This would be a great tool if I had more confidence in it.

@ rjw5f -
In fact, Folx supports multiple files download. Just copy & past required links in TextEdit, and then go TextEdit->Services->Download with Folx.

multiple link support would be nice. Meaning i dont have to copy and paste multiple links one at a time. Something similar to JDownloader’s would be how it checks the status of the file on the server and tells you if the file is good to go or is offline

I can understand that you let the beta versions expire – but it would be nice to be able to download a newer version when the old one expires. Please? ;)

Well, Folx is a cool app, but as of today it tells me the beta version has expired. It wouldn’t be strange if there was a full-version to buy or another beta to download. But apparently there’s nothing to buy or download…

Hey, Just wanted to say that I love this product. It’s extreme;y easy to use and great for timers ad such. One feature request I do have is to change the range the download speed bars appear in. I have a T1 connection so anything below 500 kb/s is slow for me. Torrent integration looks like its coming soon, but I’m not sure. That would be awesome.

Thanks, Chase

just a small but nice addition also would be the ability to see the current download figure on the folx app when it is in the dock. SD and Transmission do this also.

@ Everyone –
Thank you very much for your feature requests, we sincerely appreciate your comments and ideas. The feature of adding multiple links and uploading files to rapidshare will be added in the next release of Folx. Stay tuned to our updates!

Its a real shame you can’t add multiple links at once like in SD, or am I missing something?? Anyways nice product.

很喜欢这个下载工具，不过有时候下载到 100% 时却不能下完，这点有待改善。

另外期待支持 BT 和 eMule 协议。

鼓励一下，这个工具真的很好用。加油！

I have had problems with Folx.
1 – The download reaches 100% and continues downloading for a while afterwards. I assume that it is a rounding problem (especially with large files). It is probably rounding the number up instead of down.
2 – A more serious problem is that the downloaded file is corrupt somehow. I have successfully downloaded a couple of files but the last two downloads (both dmg) have not been able to mount and the error is codec overrun.
