File Centipede

In a day and age where digital data makes up almost everything, having the means to handle it in an efficient and smooth manner can make a significant difference from the end-user's perspective. Downloading content of various origins from the Internet these days has become an increasingly facile task, however, why not try and make it even more effortless? This is what File Centipede aims to tackle, offering users an IDM client that has its emphasis centered on efficiency and versatility, regardless of whether you’re downloading a single image or a multi-archive mega pack from an FTP.

Right from the start, we noticed the logical and well-thought design of the layout, which relies on a series of panels and tabs for providing the available tools and various information. One can, at a single glance preview downloading content, learn more about completed or in-process downloads, or, create a new output library.

A more than generous amount of input formats are available for the data sources, be it that we’re talking URLs, FTPs, torrents, and much more. Sequential downloads are of course provided, which makes for an efficient process.

Although the essential features on offer are far too many for the scope of a simple test, it is worth mentioning at this point that the application even comes with browser integration, and some of the most commonly used apps, such as Firefox or Chrome are supported.

Last but not least, there is a bit of extra functionality embedded within the app, and for example, users can decode or encode text data, query HTPP requests, and much more. We believe that the provided settings module offers consistent capabilities for tuning the app’s behavior to any particular requirements.

With a well-designed function pack and an overall versatile set of features, this IDM offers a flexible and efficient tool for downloading various content from the Internet, efficiently.
