New free application
for downloading files
Welcome!

General Downloader, or GD, is a new free application for downloading files, specially designed for the users of the General World family of websites. The main website of the network, General Files, is a search engine for direct links and most popular file-hosting websites such as:Rapidshare.com, Megaupload.com, Uploading.com and many others.

The General Downloader is the integral part of this system. It not only allows you to bypass many limitations of the file-sharing websites, it also lets you take part in the life of General World, improving it and helping others by rating files, reporting on them and other thing. Not to mention you can start the file search right from within the software of course.

General Downloader currently supports downloading from the direct links and from the following file-hosting websites:
GD is absolutely free for all!
The features of the General Downloader:

The GD further simplifies the use of General Files search service and lets you download files from major file hosting websites in one click without being bogged down in their endless captchas, popups and other obstacles.

Find the file you want in the General Files engine and select "Download via General Downloader" and the program will do the rest: it will pick up the downloading link for your file and add it to a queue, it will interact with the file-hosting website and automatically advance through the pages and advertising, making pauses when needed, and in the end it will initiate the download of the file.

In most cases the General Downloader can solve captcha images automatically. When it is impossible, GD will ask for your help.

The GD actually imitates the actions of a typical Internet user who decided to download a file from General World.

That means if a file-hosting has some restrictions on downloading files, the GD will fall under them (e.g. limited number of simultaneous downloads, speed limit, waiting time between downloads, absence of support of the resuming of interrupted download etc.). However, the GD was designed to download files as quickly as possible, considering all the restrictions.

The GD supports premium accounts in file-hosting websites.

The program fully supports this option, so if you have a premium account in a certain file-hosting service, you will be able to download what you need from there without any restrictions. Just specify your premium account data in the program settings.

The GD gives you simple control…

Right after adding links to the queue, the General Downloader checks them for validity. Files are downloaded in the order they are added to the application. You can change the priority at any time. The application provides all the options of download managers: multi-thread support, file segmentation, proxy connections etc. Furthermore, the program supports the specific features of each file-hosting service it is working with.

… and extensive information

During the download process, the GD displays the detailed information about each file, including the file name, download status, URL, file size, download speed, number of bytes received and left, elapsed and remaining time, server log messages etc.

The GD integrates into the most popular browsers:

  • Internet Explorer
  • Firefox
  • Google Chrome
  • Opera

The GD protects your security

Our software is spyware and adware free. All the information that you enter in the GD is safe and will not be used by us or transferred to a third party.

The GD helps us to improve the service for you!

Every time you use the General Downloader, you help us improve the file database of the General Files service. The application has a built-in website analyzer which detects the download links on the source website while you are surfing its pages. Our search engine crawlers will visit these pages later to harvest new download links and add them to General Files file database.
