1. Description


1.1 What is it - Description

A queue based file download manager for downloading files from the Internet using ftp, http, and Hotline protocols.

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

Monica is shareware. The trial version allows you to download 50 files, after which you are required to register the program.

1.2 Why is it - Benefits

Don't you hate it when :

Do you want:

If you answered yes to any of these questions then Monica is for you.

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.

1.3 Why the name Monica?

Because I once had a cat called Monica that always would bring me things - dead mice, birds. lizards etc. This program should bring things to you, hopefully more pleasant things.
