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.
