Albino Frog Software FileHound New Dog in Town Douglas Smith
There is a new Dog on the prowl, sniffing out files to download from the Internet. This new dog is called "FileHound". FileHound is an Internet utility that will allow you to tag as many files on the net that you might want and proceed to download them either while you watch or sleep. Before FileHound, if you were trying to download a file from a busy site, you would either keep trying over and over like the Energizer bunny to retrieve the file, or forget it and try again later.
Features
FileHound is packed with features that will make downloading files from the Internet a snap! Broken transfers are resumed from where they left off (both HTTP and FTP on servers that allow this capability) and you can load multiple files in the queue, which allows starting, stopping and resuming. All of your downloaded files are managed nicely even if you forget where you put them. The Internet can sometimes send other little bugs with your downloads, so FileHound includes integrated virus checking (manual or automatic) that works with McAfee, Norton, and others. You can specify where to save files, passwords, and login IDs. You can surf the net while downloading, thanks to bandwidth throttling, which helps control resource allocation and aids in keeping you connected. FileHound will download your queued files until you turn off the power or stop the action. FileHound will also resume trying to download after you turn power back on. FileHound features sound prompts that can be turned off, and complete session logging for error recovery and diagnosis.
