What is Download Wizard?
Download Wizard is a download manager for MacOS X. It manages the transfer of
files from computers across the Internet (or local network) to your hard drive.
How is it different from my browser's file tranferring capabilities?
Most browsers have very simple file transferring capabilities. They usually
only support the HTTP (and often FTP) transfer protocols. If an error
occurs during the transfer (for example, if your network connection goes down),
you usually have to restart the transfer from the beginning and lose all the
time and bandwidth you've invested in the transfer up to that point.
Download Wizard currently supports the HTTP, FTP and Hotline file transfer
protocols. As it evolves, the number of protocols will grow. It does its best
to recover from errors that occur to ensure that your transfers finish
without having to retransfer data that was previously received.
As you use it, you will find many features that make it superior to your
browser's rudimentary capabilties.
