Gear Flash Downloader

Gear Flash Downloader is a small Windows application designed with a single goal in mind: help users download SWF Flash files with no fuss.

And as far as we’re concerned, Gear Flash Downloader fully accomplished its goal, providing a very simple method for downloading SWF content right on your local disks.

The plain and simple GUI provides many more goodies than you might be tricked into believing at the first glance. Truth is, Gear Flash Downloader brings user interaction to a minimal level, asking for the source URL and an output folder and nothing more.

There are two ways to download a SWF file however. First, you can input the direct link to the file in the URL field and hit the “Download” button at the bottom of the page to begin the download process per se. Secondly, you can provide the link of the website that holds one or several SWF files and download them all at a time.

Gear Flash Downloader automatically scans the provided URL, checks and displays the available Flash files, letting you pick the items that can be downloaded.

Just as expected, the footprint on hardware performance is minimal, so you shouldn’t experience any slowdown after launching the program. What’s more, it gets along very well with all Windows versions.

Obviously, Gear Flash Downloader needs a lot of updates, starting with more options concerning the download task and ending with the interface. But overall, it’s pretty clear that it does its job with minimum effort and, the best of all, it comprises a fast and reliable download engine.
