Retriever is a download manager that supports HTTP, FTP and BitTorrent transfers. It supports all the functions required for easy downloading of files from the internet including resume, pausing and scheduling and presents its information in an easy to use interface while providing detailed information on content delivery and a graph that displays download speed in real time. It also features the ability to modify the programs icons as well as the look and feel.

Retriever also provides support for proxy servers. Retriever will capture download links copied to the clipboard or multiple links can be dragged and dropped onto the download list. The application is distributed using an easy to use installer that provides integration with Windows operating system and X Window Managers that support the freedesktop.org standards.

Downloads can be input manually into the program or captured from the clipboard.

You can also drag and drop links onto the download list to capture them. If a selection of text is dropped, it will be parsed for links, you can use this behaviour to add multiple files at once.

Retriever can also capture downloads directly from Internet Explorer or Opera through optional add-ons. See the IECapture and OperaCapture pages for more info.
