Mipony

MiPony is a good application and it works fairly good with alot of servers!

why is it labeled as "suspicious"? only becuase guys like "suckmyname" cant read and decidec to "quick install" MiPony?

if you are going to download MiPony, you can choose "Advanced" installation, uncheck:

1. Install search gol toolbar
2. make search gol my default search engine
3. make search gol my default homepage and new tab

click next.

and the next things that appear just click "decline" until it installs MiPony.

is that so hard to do? again, why is it labeled as "suspicious" if you can avoid it just like everything in the world.

do you label every application that comes with "bundle" stuff like chrome or google toobar which are crap, suspicious? im sure you dont! its the same, if the user choose advanced installation they can avoid all the stuff MiPony comes bundled with.

I have used MiPony for many years and have no complaints with it.
The installer has become clearer with the partnerware on offer and it is easy to avoid installing extras.

This download manager helps you to avoid all the tracking and advertising on those awful upload services. For that alone I am eternally grateful.
It is very handy for quick download of regular web site links, as it will open faster than the average modern browser.

Recent updates have added support for downloading torrents and Youtube videos, making it an even more indispensable tool.

The developers are easy to contact and welcome suggestions for improvements.

Its better than JDownloader, can be used for free. All other listed alternatives don't handle Google Drive, RapidShare, mega and all of them as Mipony does.

Things to improve: Unnecessarily includes an integrated browser, It takes 48MB of ram, which is not much but is more than really required it could be much more lightweight, it doesnt supplies a portable version from mainsite, but it is portable after installed.

Virustotal fails with Vendor MaxSecure for mipony.exe for 3.1.1.... its just one of many.

Installer will ask you to install other trial software - yes. But just press decline button 2 times and that's it. Application itself are clean, easy to use and work perfect with nearly all file hosts. Both, - free and premium file hosts accounts download performance are just fine.

At least up to today I do not know another downloader like JDownloader. I have used this one like 2-3 times ever and that only when sometimes JDowloader will give an error with a download site, usually from non updated plugin. This one worked all three times like a charm with no problem. Downloaded fast and and with no problems.

It has been reported this has malware. Newsflash; All free installers nowadays have them. JDownloader too has them and if you are not careful, you are going to end up installing an adware in your pc. Seems though this one has the kind that is less accepted and more intrusive. For better or worse I have Malwarebytes Antimalware Premium and like always not even the options appear while I install the software. I had though to turn off totally off my Comodo and it's modules and even allow Malwarebytes to allow the program to run. Still I have seen this in the past with quite a lot of installers, so I know it just has adware that are more intrusive after they get installed.

But I can say this, thanks to Malwarebytes. It has no hidden installs. I know Malwarebuytes will report any stealth installs like that and it has saved me from many bad installers that even if I close them halfway before the install, they will try to inject stuff in my PC stealthily.

Mipony is a great alternative to JDownloader, so when installing just be careful what you choose.

It supports SSL links!
