Free Download Manager is a freeware and open source download manager.
It allows you to download files and whole web sites from any remote server via HTTP, HTTPS and FTP. The latest versions also allow you to upload files, download flash object and can serve as a BitTorrent download manager.
Can be used as a portable application as well. The lite version lacks some functions (BitTorrent support, video conversion and upload manager) but can be downloaded as plugins later.
Free Download Manager 2.6.800 Beta is the latest version available.

While i as making repacks for some applications, i thought about sharing all my custom installers.
I do a lot of unattended installations, and by using my own custom installers i can install programs faster and with better results instead of sticking to the original setup files for every program because i have to use different switches, make scripts to arrange Start Menu icons, import registry files to customize program settings, and more.
All my installers (except those that are Switchless) are in MSI format, so you can install them silently with /qb /norestart switches.
In many cases, the application settings were customized to fit my needs, but the functionality remains intact so you can change their settings after you install them.
All shortcuts will be placed in Start Menu/Programs, and some of them that use more than one shortcut, will be inside a folder with the program’s name in the same path.
This way, you can use a script or CMD file to arrange them the way you want.
I uploaded 33 installers so far, and i will keep them updated everytime there is a new version of the program.
Enjoy them, and if you have questions, don’t hesitate to make a comment.

Realtek HD Audio Drivers 2.02.
If you ever get any problems when updating drivers you can use Driver Sweeper after you have uninstalled you current drivers to clean your system for left over files. After that, reboot your computer and install the new ones. This will reduce the chance of having driver issues.
