Famous download managers are still on the market, but there are users who simply want to try something new that could come with more or less surprising features.

Fresh Download is a download manager that’s supposed to do exactly the same things as the leaders of this software category and tries to build up its reputation with the help of a freeware license.

The program doesn’t lack important features, although we’d say that after a comprehensive test we’d like a more attractive interface and possibly a file manager to better organize downloads by type.

Fresh Download however is able to work with Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer, plus other external browsers by monitoring the activity and popping out whenever the user clicks on a new download.

Additionally, it tracks clipboard activity, so in case the user copies a download click, here you are, Fresh Download loads almost instantly and tries to take care of that file for you.

Of course, there’s also a settings menu that lets you change everything from integration, connection, excluded sites and logs to user interface, site passwords and download completion.

Fresh Download flirts quite nice with hardware resources and it’s safe to say that you computer won’t even know that you’re running it unless you are downloading large files at very high speeds.

All in all, Fresh Download remains a good alternative to popular solutions on the market and as long as it comes with a freeware license, it really has a chance to impress.
