    While it is possibly the best free download manager out there, there are two problems. 1. It is bundled with borderline malware - Software Informer. Go ahead and search for it. The only positive comments are obvious ghost writing fakery. 2. Where is the source code? The SVN repo hasn't been updated in 18 months, and the last four versions have no source code. You can't call this software Open Source (much less GPL) and not release source code (unless of course I am looking in the wrong place) Get that source code out there, and please, stop bundling dangerous software!

    The download manager itself is excellent in almost all aspects. The one downside to the download manager is that recently there have been no stable updates (though 3.4 beta is in the works).

    Installed it and Kaspersky Antivirus immediately raised the red flag and quarantined both the FDM.exe and the installation file saying "This process is trying to inject into another process. This is typical of some malicious programs."
