Beta testers are needed to help test SunTM Download Manager 1.0 (SDM) software, the world's first 100 percent JavaTM technology GUI-based download manager. The Sun Download Manager software works on any platform running JavaTM 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SETM) v1.2.2 or higher (including SolarisTM 8 and 9 Operating Environment (Solaris OE), Linux, Windows 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP and Mac OS X), and uses patent-pending technology to improve the reliability of large file downloads (e.g., Solaris OE binaries) from the Sun Download Center and other HTTP download sites.

Key Features and Benefits

• The Sun Download Manager software is an easy-to-use download manager with many useful, time-saving features. Sun Download Manager software's graphical user interface lets you start, stop, pause and resume downloads and even recovers from lost or dropped Internet connections -- a great time and bandwidth saver. You can queue up multiple files to download, click Start and walk away. Sun Download Manager software does the rest. There's even a built-in unzip utility.

• Automatic real-time verification of large file downloads from Sun Download Center. New, patent-pending technology verifies the integrity of large files as they download. Bad segments are re-downloaded automatically so you get files that are complete and ready-to-install.

• It's free.
