If you have to download a huge file from the Internet, then you would need a download manager, otherwise you will be kept waiting for a long time. Also, without such an application, you would need to start all over again, if it gets interrupted. Folx offers a modern and elegant solution for downloading large amounts of data. The application's controls and functionality are straightforward, which gives you the possibility of setting up and starting downloads at a moment's notice.

Downloading data with Folx is quite easy. All you have to do is paste a download link on the application's user interface and click a button. You will notice that your download will go much faster, due to the application's multi-thread downloading capabilities. You can pause and resume a downloading process at any time, with a single click. Even if your computer shuts down or restarts unexpectedly, you will still be able to resume your downloads.

Folx can be installed like any other Mac OS X application, but when you launch it for the first time, it will install a plug-in on your web browser. With this plug-in installed on your browser, the application will take over any downloads automatically. When you click a download link, Folx will display a series of options, on a small window, for choosing a destination folder, a number of threats and more.

The user interface has a clean design and easy to understand controls. Downloads can be filtered to show only active, inactive or completed ones. Downloaded files can be viewed on the same interface, but on a different tab. What's more, the application can help you find and download torrent files, without opening a browser and going to various trackers sites.

Pros

Folx can download large amounts of data quite fast. It has a clean and efficient user interface and its controls are very easy to understand. It allows you to filter and tag downloads and view downloaded files.

Cons

There are many restricted features, which can be unlocked by upgrading to a paid version. Faster downloads and the possibility of managing downloads much easier are just a few advantages you can expect from Folx.
