oGet Integrates Popular Download Managers Into Opera
Mon, Feb 23rd, 2009 |
Windows with Opera only: oGet improves on the limited and often non-existent integration between the Opera browser and third-party download managers, acting as a link between them.
After installing oGet, you'll be asked to select which download manager you would like oGet to pass your download requests to. The plug-in doesn't actually install the download managers, so you'll need to grab it on your own—check out the Hive Five for best download managers if you need some help picking one out. oGet supports over 25 managers including GetRight, FlashGet and LeechGet, among others.
