With the evolution of smartphones and tablets, we now use our phones and tablets more than our laptops and desktops. And also now Internet speeds are higher on 3G and 4G networks, so you might even think of downloading your files on your phone. Android phones comes with a built in download manager, but it has very less features and is similar to the ones found in browsers on your desktop. If you are looking for an advanced download manager for your Android phone, try Download Scheduler.
As the name indicates, it is a feature rich download manager which allows you to schedule your downloads. You don’t have to put yourself reminders to download updates manually any more, the application will do everything for you.
This app has pretty good uses, for example you connect to Wi-fi connection at office and want to download something daily, you can schedule it for everyday. You can specify the download URL, name and the schedule interval. There is also option to specify the download location.
Main functions:
- Unlimited number of downloads
- On schedule automatic downloads, as well as manual ones on as-needed basis
- Possibility to use current date in URL
- Downloads from password-protected sites (HTTP Authentication: Basic)
The app is available in the Google play store for $2, but you can also get it from XDA forum.
