Folx is an application that offers a convenient solution for downloading files from the Internet. This download manager provides a series of smart features, which differentiate Folx from other similar programs. I refer mainly to the ability to control the download speed, to split the downloads into multiple threads, and to assign a tag to the downloaded files for easier searching and retrieving at a later time.
The interface is straightforward and adequate for this type of tools. Had it provided the ability to change the theme colors, it would have been even better. To work at full capacity and according to your requirements, you need to apply some settings first. Namely, you need to determine the downloading speed, which can be either unlimited (I personally recommend you to use it only occasionally, since it dries up your computer resources) or restricted to predefined parameters. Unfortunately, you are bound to the developers' presets, as the program doesn't let you configure one of your own, the maximum speed being limited to 1 MB. However, you may select the “auto speed mode” and let the program decide on your behalf. In addition, the app allows you to determine how many downloading tasks you prefer to run at the same time. In this regard, the program supports up to 25 active running tasks. In my opinion, the maximum number of multiple downloads is more than enough for a home user. more
Maxel speeds up your downloads by splitting each file into parts and downloading them simultaneously, maximizing your bandwidth.
