About Folx
Folx is a download manager for the Mac from Eltima. It splits downloads into multiple threads to use more of the connection, and lets you organize and sort downloads rather than leaving them in one folder.
It also works as a torrent client, so direct downloads and torrents can be managed in the same app. It suits Mac users who want one place to queue both regular file downloads and torrents.
