Download Managers are plenty around the web, but a Universal Download Manager is rare. EagleGet conveniently falls into the second category. It helps you capture and download any file on the web, and also 'sniffs' streaming media playing on your browser and downloads them. The software supports a wide range of protocols from HTTP, HTTPs, FTP, MMS, RTSP and so on.
Now the question is why do you want to use a download manager or specifically what makes EagleGet so special compared to other download managers available out there?
- Imagine those situations were you lose your internet connection or your system crashes; it will be difficult to continue those downloads that you were transferring. The multithreaded technology in EagleGet will save you time and your nerves while downloading files helping you to Pause and Resume any broken downloads.
- The same Multithreading technology will increase your download speed greatly, by splitting these files into smaller parts and downloading them simultaneously.
- EagleGet Integrates into popular browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Opera and IE. Not only that, what makes EagleGet so special is its Universal Capture mode, the clipboard monitoring will work on almost all browsers, which means any downloads get transferred to EagleGet no matter what browser you're using.
- The Media Sniffer feature is another delight: you can download streaming audio and video from any website you want, in the easiest way possible, and a "Download Now" button will be available while playing. It also provides options for quality of the video to be downloaded, if available.
- The Batch Downloader feature lets you download multiple URLs and thus, a whole range of files in an instant.
Moreover, EagleGet is the only freeware download manager that supports Automatic Refreshing of an expired download link ie it lets you resume any broken downloads. The installer scores 0/45 at VirusTotal, contains no adware and the interface is extremely appealing. The downloads are Categorized into different folders for ease of access. With the Drag and Drop feature you can re-arrange the priority of downloads. The Scheduler feature helps you take care of your downloads even when you're not physically present in front of your PC. Also, you can verify the integrity of all files that have been downloaded.
Here you can find the whole list of Features available in EagleGet. Overall, EagleGet is a reliable software that easily manages all your downloads. It has a wide array of features that puts any other similar software to shame, aptly deserving the term Eagle, because when you're on the web, EagleGet is pretty sharp in capturing any download available.

Nothing for over a year, does this thing still work, is it still being developped and does it work with Palemoon?
If you get a chance, you might want to mention to them that "eaglegetprotable" doesn't sound very professional and so does "Are you preferred portable apps?".
Grrr i don't like a "portable" that requires installation and shuts down my PaleMoon without asking.
That's it, i removed the addon, that annoying blue download button hiding part of every videos i want to watch was the last straw.
For browser monitoring, the addon should be enough.
If it's not portable, no need to pretend it is.
Ok, i'll see what removing the record button does.
Programs created by PortableApps don't "install" they just unzip.
You are right about the difference between portable and stealth, i always expect portables to be stealth.
I tried using it after turning Record off and the blue button is still there, but only when the pointer hovers over the video, so that's ok.
It created problems when i had "too" many opened Youtube tabs, so i just scrapped it all.
I don't really consider a program portable when you need administrator level to "install" it before you can use it. Is that what happens with non-stealth portables on windows 7?
I don't know how and i just thought that he might be on there forum or something if he likes there product so much.
version 1.1.0.8 of EagleGet is out and reported stable @ website.

Please update this page http://www.techsupportalert.com/best-free-download-manager.htm
Is anyone aware of a way to download MS Silverlight-based videos that are embedded in a webpage? EagleGet isn't able to do this.
Thanks.
George.J,
I'd like to save some of the videos from this page:
http://www.human.cornell.edu/hd/outreach-extension/multimedia-resources2...
If EagleGet is unable to save these files, are you aware of any free software that can?
Thank you.
Yes, I'm using the most recent version of EagleGet. Re: browser, I use either Comodo IceDragon or Comodo Dragon. Do I need to use a different browser? If not, is there something I'm missing here?
Thanks.
Jason
Post back if you've got it working or still having trouble.
Thank you, George.J. I was able to get some of the files to download. However, I'm still having problems with the ones like "Enhancing the Informativeness of Young Victim Witnesses" and "Pretrial Publicity and Jury Decision Making". With those, an additional window pops up and includes a message about MS Silverlight.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
I already have Silverlight installed on my laptop. I am able to watch these videos via streaming. However, I am not able to download these videos.
"EagleGet is the only freeware download manager that supports Automatic Refreshing of an expired download link ie it lets you resume any broken downloads."
Leaving aside the questionable grammar of this sentence, automatic resuming of interrupted downloads has been a staple of download managers for decades, all the way back to the days of dial-up. I'm pretty sure Firefox and Chrome will quite happily pick up from where they left off – but then, I can barely remember the last time I had a large download interrupted by my connection dropping or my system crashing, as downloads tend to be a lot faster than they were way back when, and systems are a lot more stable too.
If the media capture is as good as DownloadHelper in Firefox, I might have a look-see, though.
FDM also supports resumed downloads.
