Gopeed

Despite the fact that you may have good Internet connection, a downloader can make the speeds even better, which can be noticeable for large files. Moreover, a downloader allows you manage your bandwidth better, resume interrupted downloads and save various files for later use.

In case you are looking for something simple and responsive, then Gopeed might be an application worth checking out.

The program doesn’t need installation, so simply decompress the archive, and you can start creating your first task. Before you proceed to downloading anything, it may be a good idea to go over the settings so that you set a download folder for your files. Otherwise, they will be saved in the standard Downloads directory on C.

The interface is very simplistic and includes two tabs at the top, one dedicated to the active downloads and another where you can check out the completed tasks. The active downloads are displayed with basic information, namely total size of the file, how much it was downloaded and the speed.

Before creating a task, you can also access the advanced options and customize the request by specifying various details. For instance, for the HTTP protocol, you can include a user-agent, cookie and referrer. These settings may come in handy when attempting to grab files that are restricted in your region.

The tool also includes a simple Settings section where you can include the downloads' directory, as previously mentioned, set up the maximum simultaneous connections and tasks or add trackers for BitTorrent files.

Gopeed is a lightweight and minimalistic downloader that can come in handy for anyone who regularly needs to grab files from the web. Packing a minimalistic interface, the tool also includes advanced features that can cater to various downloading needs.
