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.

Happy downloads!
