iGetter review
A focused download manager with scheduling, queue controls and a one-time registration purchase.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
iGetter is a desktop download manager for people who want more control over file transfers than a browser’s basic download list provides. It organizes links into queues, can resume paused or interrupted downloads, and uses segmented downloading to accelerate transfers. Scheduling lets users choose download times, including quieter periods; speed limits and automatic shutdown or sleep after completion add practical controls. Its focus is utility rather than video capture or remote management, making it a better fit for solo users and small setups than buyers seeking those functions.
The standout depth is in handling and organizing transfers. Site Explorer can locate downloadable files on websites and FTP sites, while queue filters, search and download history help manage activity. Browser extensions can send links from supported browsers, including Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera and Vivaldi, as well as Chromium-based browsers. Checksum calculation and integrity checking add a way to verify files. Together, these features suit users with recurring or sizable transfer queues; someone who only downloads occasionally may find this degree of queue control unnecessary.
According to the vendor’s pricing page, iGetter Download Manager is a single product registration purchase for $15 USD, one-time. The vendor describes the software as shareware that users can evaluate before registration. Support is offered by email. Windows is listed as a platform, while macOS and Linux use Wine or Crossover rather than native builds, a consideration for buyers who prioritize native installation. Choose iGetter for scheduled transfers, resume support and browser-assisted link capture; consider another tool if you need video downloading, remote control or native macOS/Linux software.
