It is better than jdownloader because:

  • it do not require any difficult installation with alot of data downloading.
  • works out of the box on Linux (on Windows too, Java JRE required)
  • SW is quite light on resources by my impression when i am comparing to JD
  • i trust developers more than JD
  • is simple and despite JD better detects DL links of my favorite filesharing portal

I find FRD incredibly easy to use, especially since my d/ls aren't limited to video. A dropdown menu of destinations makes it quick to change, unlike Jdownloader.

On my machine it uses much more processor power than jDownloder. So after a few weeks of testing im going back do JD.

Whilst JDownloader is just as good, FreeRapid is easier on computer resources, and thus my preferred upload site downloader. (However this still uses JAVA, good for cross platform but means it has dependencies).

The BEST among its kind. Easy, efficient... and whenever there's a bug in a plugin, it's immediately fixed and updated. Updates for plugins happen almost every two days.
