Long, long time ago, in a galaxy far away... (ops, wrong text!)... Well, it was middle of 1998. At this time I was just wondering how great could be a program like GetRight for using with OS/2. At that time, I had found an interesting program: AutoWGet Daemon. It was made by a russian guy, and it was a REXX script.

    I looked into its code and thought: "Nice concept! If I implement this in C or C++ I can add more and more functions!"...

    AutoGet/2 was born. In middle of november, 1998, I started the open beta program for my OS/2 friends at OS/2 Brasil mailing list. It was great and they were very receptive to the news and I was very, very happy with the response.

    At that time, all of them asked for a PM version of the program, since AutoGet/2 was made for VIO Window, but I had no knowledge to create such program. I was just starting on OS/2 programming world. But I was just starting that version, and even doing it at VIO, I thought to make it the better download program ever made... but sometimes we cannot do what we want to. In middle of december a crash on my harddisk simply destroyed all of my source code, and only an installed version of the program was saved, on my syster's computer (she was testing the beta version for me). It was then the version 0.99.70b of AutoGet/2.

    After some time, I decided to package AutoGet/2, even that beta program, and distribute it, because keeping it hidden would be of no use to other users... Besides, even at beta stage, AutoGet/2 was the most advanced automatic download program ever made for OS/2! So I created the page and I received more than 300 e-mail messages (from different people!) of support, asking me please to continue the job.

    I was learning PM programming then (and I have not finished yet!) and then decided to restart the project, but now with a new perspective, a new point of view... A new concept...

    But... after all, what can it do for you? Simple. There is almost nothing to say. It just do automaticaly every download you need to do. It uses WGet bullet-proof system to download files, from FTP or HTTP servers, always as possible using "reget" option.

    Of course PM Download Center adds lots of features to WGet. If you had already used AutoGet/2, you'll discover how much better it is now! All parameters are now redefined in real time, no more problems with URL objects being lost, more options, select the download order, freeze or unfreeze downloads at your command!

    Say goodbye to download problems. Welcome to PM Download Center.
