Give Internet Explorer a better download manager with IE7Pro 2.0

by Brad Linder on January 2, 2008 at 05:00 PM

Internet Explorer 7 may have a bunch of features that were missing from earlier versions of Microsoft's web browser, like tabbed windows, but that doesn't mean IE7 can't benefit from a few tweaks. And IE7Pro is probably the most full featured tweaker on the block. Last time we looked at IE7Pro, it was looking pretty good with support for mouse gestures, Ad Blocker, and a Greasemonkey-liked script for users who want to write their own code.

Now IE7Pro 2.0 is out, and it has a few new features that make this Internet Explorer add-on even more valuable. Probably the most remarkable new feature is a download manager with support for pausing and resuming downloads.

IE7Pro 2.0 also now comes in both 64-bit and 32-bit flavors.

Or don't bother using Firefox at all and going straight to Opera.

Or just keep IE7 which seriously isn't that bad. Pretty good actually if you'd try it.

Why there is no really good download managers in any browser? Why do we need to just to install one? Cmon, Firefox should have a better download manager, with resumming and all, but no. That´s the only thing that I don´t like from firefox. I´m using flashgot with flashget and THAT rocks!

I stumbled across this the other day and downloaded it, but haven't gotten around to installing it. It looks cool, but I don't think there will be enough there to get me to switch from Firefox.

Still, I'll have to install it and play around with it soon out of curiosity.

I think IE7PRo is great. Its sharp looking, gives IE mouse gestures and has an ad blocker. My bigest problem is that it has a built in spell checker, the company has no privacy policy and its made in china. So essentially every word you type gets sent over seas for them to use as they please.
