Add-In – Windows Home Server Download Manager
There are many download managers for Windows XP and Vista. FlashGet, GetRight, Go!Zilla, ReGet, the list goes on. Coming soon to our Server’s is add-in Windows Home Server Download Manager. Now you will be able to download files even when your PCs are turned off.
This information came courtesy of the forums at the German HomeServer Blog.

Yes!!! I download at over 25GB/s (yes GIGS) of stuff about a week… ive been wanting a download manager for my WHS so i can turn off my client computers at night!!
Now this is probably asking to much, but can we do this easy? I use a FireFox addon that intergrades into FlashGet really nicely… will we see anything like this with this addon?
wow i can wait! This would be the best addon for WHS!
WOA! thats a pretty fast network connection you gots there.. downloadin at over 25GB/s per week .. where do you store all the petabytes of data?
Who said anything about petabytes? I talking gigabytes.
Yes it does sound like a good add-in, can’t wait till it’s released.
alright, so who volunteers to translate? I could really use this as well.
@Drew: wow, 25 GB per second is some serious throughput! I’m assuming that’s provided by your employer? 😉
Ah, exactly what I’ve been waiting for. I hope this has the ability to remote start the request from the clients.
Hi Fieldhouse,
The latest internal release is in English…No translation needed.
Hi Hugh G,
Yes i’m looking forward to this add-in as well. You can remote start the request via the clients console.
This addon was not what I expected. With no way to stop or pause downloads this is useless.
