| 583726 | 2007-08-22 08:27:00 | Just installed Flashget ver 1.9.0.1012 but it just won't work although it is set as my default download manager! How do I get it to be my download manager? Whenever I click a download link, Firefox's download manager takes control. I'm running XP Pro. |

| 583728 | 2007-08-22 08:40:00 | you can try This (http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/) download manager, I find it works with most sites, and it does over ride Firefox, if you want to use Firefox to down load, simply click Cancel in the down load box then Firefox takes over | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 583729 | 2007-08-22 09:13:00 | have you followed te instructions for seting it up with firefox ? most netscape style browers need a special setup to work with download managers. |

| 583730 | 2007-08-22 09:26:00 | The special setup is the Flashgot extension update.mozilla.org | PaulD (232) | ||
| 583731 | 2007-08-22 09:30:00 | Flashgot extension = excellent | zqwerty (97) | ||
| 583732 | 2007-08-22 10:39:00 | Downloaded and installed Flashgot as suggested. Now when downloading, I have the option to use Flashgot and when I tick flashgot, Flashget opens and takes control. Are Flashgot and Flashget the same? :confused: |

| 583734 | 2007-08-22 21:35:00 | Usually you have to right-click & copy the link for Flashget to be called or drag the link to the launchpad or whatever they call it. If you're just left clicking on the link, then Firefox will use its download "manager". |

| 583735 | 2007-08-22 21:45:00 | Be aware that Flashget version 1.9.x has some suspicious behaviour such as connecting to various servers around the world. Older versions did not do this. See: www.softpedia.com for more info. | somebody (208) | ||
