If you do not want to use FlashGet for any reason, you can use Free Download Manager as well (Download Assistant extension supports that one too). You can then choose to schedule that download for a later time in Flashget, instead of downloading it immediately. Now when you click on a link in Google Chrome to download a file, this extension will direct the download to Flashget. In this case, press Ctrl +Alt + Click on the link that you want to be downloaded via an external download manager.Īnd that pretty much completes our setup. However, another extension called Downloaders can do the same. Update (): Google seems to have removed this extension. So, once you install this extension, you can choose that your downloads should happen via Flashget. It supports many download managers, and luckily for us, it supports Flashget as well.

When you choose to download any file via Flashget, you can schedule it to download later at your chosen time.

This is one of the most popular download managers that really speeds up downloads. We’ll combine two free software to schedule downloads in Chrome. So, I thought of a way out, and it works pretty well. I wasn’t able to find any download manager plugin for Chrome that directly provides such a download scheduling facility for Chrome. That got me thinking how could the same thing be accomplished in Google Chrome. I read a Lifehacker article yesterday that talked about scheduling downloads in Firefox. This comes handy if you want to do your downloads in some off-peak time (like, during night). Here is a small tutorial that explains how to schedule downloads in Google Chrome.
