Oh wow, GetRight... I don't know if it's just nostalgia, but the UI of those apps was much better than today's UI. Back then everything had a standard UI and you could count on menus and elements being Alt-accessible, nowadays everything is a hodgepodge of web apps and nothing works the same way as anything else.

And to add to it, it seems that none of them hear of keyboard shortcuts.

That is the worst offender. Keyboard is the best way of quickly navigating, but no, no keyboard shortcuts anywhere any more, and definitely no underlines on buttons so you can alt+key to them...

Almost shellshocked from reading the name GetRight. Jesus that feels long ago.

As an Australia I still long for the multi-stream download of GetRight. I regularly use axel (or aria2c) to just get my connection to 100Mbit.

Holy heck that’s a blast from the 56k past.

I was on a 28.8, after pitching my parents for weeks about the benefits of keeping the telephone busy for 2 hours per day...

Same, download manager used to be a must-have app in the early internet days.

This hurts. You Remember getright aeons ago and I still remember JetCar ( the products name before that)

Don't forget Teleport to download websites for offline viewing.
