GetRight (1285374 Bytes)

GetRight allows graceful recovery and resuming if you are disconnected in the middle of saving a file from the Web to your PC's harddrive. For example, if you have finished getting 951f of that 10 megabyte file and get disconnected, GetRight finishes getting the last 51f of that 10 megabyte file and gets disconnected, GetRight just finishes getting the last 5\% without restarting from the beginning!. The only drawback to the program is that the server downloaded from MUST support partial requests. GetRight will also calculate several other of TUCOWS' mirrors where they could download. GetRight then pings them all to see which offers the fastest performance, and it then begins with the fastest.
