    Hi can you tell me how to get Flashget to take over the download as with other download managers it automatically did it itself, but with this one it doesnt seem to do this. I have also tried right clicking and clicking on the one download with flashget but nothing happens. Is there something i need to do or can i change something on my computer. I am using windows xp professional and using Windows Internet Explorer.

    Can anyone help please!!!! :)

    What i used to do was, i would start a download, then right click on the download, i would click copy download link, then just paste it into flashget, although no clue if that works here. I'm sure there is an option in flashget to make it the default download manager

    According to wikianswers, default download is an option when installing, if you must, just reinstall it and there should be an option

    Someone said that holding Alt + Ctrl and clicking on the download link will force flashget to try and download it

    It has done it on two Smart Girls Playhouse - page 2 and Sweet 16 (not sure if I am doing it write I am trying Professor Layton now to see whether that works if it doesnt it is obviously something I am doing wrong.

    Thanks! :)

    I sorry for being dumb but could you explain what I need to do and why and this is all really new to me (all I have ever done is download the odd thing and unzip).

    I have tried what you have sent me but the downloading % just gets stuck and will not do anymore, is this normal as I seem to have this alot!!!

    Thanks :)

    Just for info, you may want to use Free Download Manager as your Download Manager.
    Easier to use than Flashget.

    Really ? Should be easy though.
    Did you use the latest version ?

    Or else, it is also recommended to use Orbit Downloader if you want to try
