An Overview Of Folx for Mac

If you're the type who likes to download a lot of files on your computer, you already know that this can take up a good part of your day. By and large, you cannot download a lot of files at once with your basic computer setup, and they're certainly not going to download quickly, especially if you're doing a few at a time. This is where a program like Folx for Mac can really help you manage your downloads and boost your speeds.

Folx was developed for Mac operating systems by Eltima Software. It is currently on version 5.5.13723 and has earned a rating of 8 out of 10. It is available entirely for free; however, there is a paid version of this program that gives you a lot more features than what you will get with the free version.

Though with its multi-threading capabilities and easy management interface, the free version of Folx is more than enough for most people. It's a program that was designed to ease the burden for people who download a ton of files.

What Folx for Mac Is and What It Does

To put a fine point on it, Folx is a download manager system that can help you arrange the downloads you need to queue, order them, and even help you download them a lot faster. This is also a download accelerator that can work for multiple file formats. From MP3 audio files and short videos from YouTube, to multi-gig torrents and more, Folx can help you handle it.

You can also download a lot of files that aren't typically accessible with your basic computing functionality. For instance, this program can handle formats and files from HTTP, HTTPS and FTP sources, making it ideal for web developers, gamers, and much more.

The fact that it also boosts your download speeds significantly is reason enough for a lot of people to turn to this program when they have a lot of stuff to download on their Mac.

Features of Folx for Mac

One of the most notable features of Folx is that it has a multi-threading feature. What this means, in a nutshell, is that instead of downloading a file from a single source, like most download programs do, it instead seeks out multiple sources for a file. So you're getting extra upload speed and bandwidth from a variety of users who are sharing the file. This can create blazing download speeds.

It's also very easy to sort out your downloads. You do not have to start them right away. You can put them in the queue and arrange them and start downloading once you're set, while setting each file to a different directory, or whatever is most convenient for you.

For people dealing with websites, this program can also help you out in a big way in downloading FTP files to transfer back through your server. Overall, there's really a lot that you can do with the free version, while the paid version offers a lot more features.
