Thank you for downloading CatchFiles.
CatchFiles is a software that allow the user to download
files over the internet. Also resuming of interrupted downloads is possible
if the server from which the file is being downloaded supports resuming.
This is possible both from HTTP and FTP servers.
Thanks to the Java technology CatchFiles is a relatively
light program comparing to other programs of the same type.
To use this program you must have installed a Java Virtual
Machine, that could be the Java Developer Kit (JDK), the Java Runtime Environment
(JRE) or simply you should have installed on your PC Microsoft's Internet
Explorer 4.0 or later. CatchFiles can be used both on Windows (95,98 or
NT) or on Linux.
On Windows systems the Setup (also written in Java) will
recognize which Java Virtual Machine you are
using and will install a convenient batch file to run
the program.
If you don't own one of the above Virtual Machines you
can download the bundle that includes Sun's Java Runtime Environment. Check
my site
for it.
CatchFiles is made up of three main windows : the ResumeList,
the CatchFile and the Monitor.
The ResumeList is the window where you can resume interrupted
downloads and where you can acceed to the other two windows.
The CatchFile is the window that is opened when the download
is under progress and where you can see the progress.
The Monitor gives you the possibility to download while
surfing the net with your favourite browser, infact it would be sufficient
to right-click and copy the link address and the download will automatically
start.
Among the various useful options is to open the file
using the system default program as soon as the download is termintated.
You can set this option to be on demand or automatic or you can disabled
it. In a future version (not too future) I will build in the program the
possibility to unzip compressed archives at the end of download so that
you mustn't jump from one software to another.
You can evaluate free of charge this software for 30
days, after that the program will cease to work and you are envited to
register. The registration fee is US$ 12.50 or Euros 11.50 (see conversion
table ), 25% of the registration fee will
be devolved to international organisations such as FAO, UN, International
Red Cross etc... for humanitarian purposes. You will be able to check I
will actually effect the payment on my site JavaItalia
where
I will show the receipts of the remittances. For full details on registration
please refer to the registration page
.
Happy downloads!
