LeechGet is a download manager that comes in handy when you want to download files of large sizes.

The user interface of the program is familiar and simple to use. All you have to do is add a new download and let LeechGet do its job.

When you are adding a new download, you can optionally enable the program to collect more information about the server (e.g. checks the server for speed and availability before initiating the downloading process).

In the download queue, you can view the name, progress, size, remaining time, speed, speed limit, resume status, address, comment, priority and local path of each file that is currently being downloaded. You can change the comment, modify the URL and local file name.

Plus, you can parse an URL in order to download any available content on a website, import or export an URL list, and enforce the currently selected profile (LeechGet lets you select download profiles to set the maximum number of the bandwidth and active downloads).

But you can also use "Clipboard Monitor" so that LeechGet automatically adds URLs from the clipboard, catch all clicked links in Internet Explorer, automatically disconnect from the Internet or shutdown the computer when downloading tasks are completed (via "Hang up when done" and "Shut Down when done"), and more.

The program uses a low amount of CPU and memory, manages to download a large file (e.g. 1.44Gb) faster than other managers, has a well-drawn user documentation and is simple to use by both beginners and experts.

Too bad the demo version is severely limited (as you can see in the Product Description below). Otherwise, LeechGet is a great tool for downloading files and folders whose features stand out when dealing with large quantities of information.
