[NPL] MONICA File Downloader 2.1

[NPL] MONICA File Downloader 2.1

Peter Job today announced the release of version 2.1 of his popular Mac
file downloader MONICA.

MONICA is a queue based file download manager for downloading files from
the Internet using FTP, HTTP, and Hotline protocols. It was originally
released as freeware in 1998.

MONICA achieves exceptional download throughput by utilising queue
technology, optimised processing of Internet protocols, and by extensive
use of transfer resumption techniques.

MONICA allows you to easily set up a download queue by 'dragging and
dropping' or 'cutting and pasting' file URLs. Once you have placed some
files in the queue you may manually start each download at a time
convenient to you, or allow MONICA to start downloading automatically. In
automatic mode, once a file is received MONICA will start the next one,
allowing up to four simultaneous downloads. If the server times you out or
if the download is incomplete then MONICA will restart the download and do
her best to resume from where the download left off, while you can go off
to more pleasant occupations.

It's a great time saver for people who download many or large files off the
Internet!!
