How to prevent duplicates?

Post by Dingo »

How do I prevent Flashgot from downloading duplicate files? I'm a DJ, and I belong to digital record pool. I use Flashgot to download a 100 mp3 at a time. However, sometimes it fails to download a couple of links. Is there a way to keep Flashgot form downloading duplicate files? It is really tedious going sifting through a list of mp3 to get a few that Flashgot missed. Thanks

Are you using Firefox's built-in download manager? Unfortunately, it doesn't have any pre-filtering facility.
You may want to try an external download manager among those supported by FlashGot (Free Download Manager is free, open source and feature-packed): they do a much better job at filtering links and check for duplicates.
