Software update: GetRight 5.2 beta 4

Headlight Software brings us today the fourth beta release of GetRight version 5.2. GetRight is a download manager that can resume aborted downloads, download a file from multiple servers at the same time, and automatically shut down the computer after downloading. The changelog shows what has changed in this release:

Fixes & Improvements in Beta 4:

• Switched so the “by file type” Internet Explorer click monitoring uses a different method (now is a Browser Helper Object) which seems to have fewer quirks with Windows XP SP2 and a few other things. It’s been the alternate method we referred people to try if they had problems, so really has been used by a lot of people over the years. Probably won’t even notice any differences.
• Added MODE Z for FTP transfers. Compresses the transfer of files and directory listings. Will make a big difference especially if downloading text. Doesn’t do it for ZIP, EXE, RAR, or other already compressed types; and FTP servers are only just starting to add the feature; but is pretty cool with the right data and a server that allows it! I’ve seen folder contents compressed over 90% in the GetRight Browser!
• Fix so GRX importing handles URLs with user/password format
• Minor, adjusted how the “menu-top” graphic is used for the tray icon menu so it doesn’t look as squished on some computers.
• And other things I’ve forgotten to note down.
