Nice program. But the frequent updates are enough to drive me to uninstall it, especially since Download Helper does the job just as well.

Enough already with the updates!! I've stop installing them. I am sick of being prompted every week to update, and then being diverted to FlashGot's website when I log back on. For some reason this process turns off my colored tabs until I reload new ones. Not to mention, I haven't noticed a change in the software since I initially installed it.

There is nothing that this program does that requires updating every week. Or even every month for that matter. This is not a security program that requires constant updating. It finds media links on a page and downloads them. Extensions rarely change.

If there isn't a critical or substantial update, I don't want to be bothered. Flashgot should find another way to direct people to its website or to remain on the top of the Recently Updated or Most Downloaded lists.
