Alternatives to download management software

I understand companies like to do things "their way" and I understand that proprietary download management software for products is good for some but not others. Has adobe completely abandoned the option of downloading individual self executable Trial software? I think it's a really stupid and unnecessary move if so. Why not offer both options to customers. Think about it Adobe. Think about it for more than 5 minutes please. This is not asking for the moon here.
Thanks.

Thanks. Appreciate the response, but I've been trying to download direct links on prodesigntools while logged into my adobe account and all I get is this message repeatedly:
Access Denied
You don't have permission to access "http://trials3.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/PPRO/8/win64/PremierePro_8_LS20.7z?" on this server.

Update: I seem to have found a way to get this method working okay. Thank you very much for posting some helpful info. Means a lot.

Develop a download manager

i need to develop a download managing software which can
1)improve the speed of download
2)making downloading much more convenient
how can i proceed,what do i do

Well,
you can improve the speed of download with concurrent streams of data being downloaded, but such a solution is not always possible.
If you are developing both server and client side of download solution, i.e. for the update of a inhouse software solution you can make the servern and client multi-thread, and try to increase the download speed that way, by creating concurrent streams that download difrent chunks of data.
the only convinience that a downlaod manager should provide is the ability to pause/resume. any thing besides that is just fluf

Am trying to download Calibre software for EBook management. Safari says can't download file. Why? How to fix?

I am trying to download E-Book management software (Calibre) on to my IPAD but Safari says download failed as Safari cannot download this file. Why is this. I would have thought this was a fairly straight forward procedure?

If you are talking about Calibre, there is no iOS version. There's an OSX version for Mac computers which are not the same as iPads. Any and all software that can run on the iPad can only be installed from the App Store.
You cannot download anything thorugh Safari and try to install it, it just doesn't work that way.
Addiionally as has been already been pointed out Calibre installs on your Computer, not the iPad. You manage ebooks on the Computer.

Dv6775us HP Backup and Recovery Manager software corrupted - can't find download

I am getting an HP error message saying the HP Backup and Recovery Manager software has been corrupted and needs to be updated. For over an hour I have been frustrated trying to find where on this site to download a replacement of what was installed or an upgrade that would repair the problem.
Can anyone point me to where I can get the software? Thanks.

Did you make a recovery disk set or usb recovery media?
If you did, then you are in luck because that is the software that can be used to reinstall the Recovery manager.
The downside is that you will have to do a factory image recovery to reinstall the software. A recovery is a destructive process, unlike a Windows stystem restore. A recovery will mean that you will needto save all of your data externally to avoid losing it and reinstall all of your programs after the recovery is complete.

Software Download Manager on a 64bit Linux?

I recently tried to install the linux software download manager. I am running a 64bit RHEL 6.6 system. After setting up the appropriate path I ran into the error of :
./install.bin
Installer User Interface Mode Not Supported
The installer cannot run in this UI mode. To specify the interface mode, use the -i command-line option, followed by the UI mode identifier. The valid UI modes identifiers are GUI, Console, and Silent.
I tried running (-i Console ),(-i GUI) , and (-i Silent) . I still got the same errors. My google search of the error points to maybe needing to install 32 bit libs. I am wondering if it is possible to install the download manager (SAP_Download_Manager_1.0) on a 64 bit linux box. Please let men know if I barked up the wrong tree. (sorry for the funky formatting)
Roy

I have now tried to use both a 32bit and 64bit jvm and I am getting the same issues.

I bought a new computer but the Adobe Download Manager will not allow me to download software?

I have already installed software onto two computers - a laptop and desktop, but now I have a bought a new desktop computer (imac), and I cannot get the Adobe Download Manager to download the software onto it. I have deleted the Adobe Cloud software from the old computer, and have the Adobe Download Manager (that works fine on the laptop) on the new desk computer, but it will not allow me to download anything other than trials with a 30 day limit. I am paying my monthly Adobe Cloud sub so getting very frustrated.

I know... I deleted and then realised I should have uninstalled. Stupid of me.
However, maybe people at Adobe read this or something, cos it has suddenly started working fine.
Thanks for reply BTW.

Hi,
I am already a member of creative cloud for over 12 months,
I do not want the trial software, I want the software I am entitled to through the creative cloud.
I already have photoshop, illustrator, dreamweaver and others, however, after signing in and going to the link below, nothing happens when I click the download button.

I didn't manage to find the serial number, even if i've check on my e-mails and i have bought and downloaded the software on-line...so can you help me?

I didn't manage to find the serial number, even if i've check on my e-mails and i have bought and downloaded the software on-line...so can you help me?

So, if I understand you, you signed into your adobe.com account as described in that link, went to the My Products section of your My Adobe page, and did not see your registered products with serial numbers.
Is that correct?

Hi,
You can check this issue in Clean boot to see if other security app or Firewall blocking the downloading behavior.
Also we can use Process monitor and Network monitor to track the downloading events and see if any component of this program was blocked or the network communication was interrupted.

Sorry for the later reply, I have resolved this by using an alterative internet connection at a relatives house which was faster.

Cloud Management Software alternative

Hi Spiceheads,
I'm quite new in my role here at IFX who are a small foreign exchange business with around 50-60 users. We currently use cloud management software called ControlNow which we use for Monitoring, Patch Management & Web Protection. Our license is coming to an end and I've been asked to look for any alternative software. The company is cloud-based and uses Office365.
Does anyone know of any good, affordable alternatives that they have tried & tested and can recommend to me?
here's what we currently use:

Many thanks in advance,
Scott

Adobe Download Manager Creative Cloud.

I’ve been back and fourth with customer service about an issue I’ve encountered after installing creative cloud, more specifically in the downloading stage. Most of the trouble-shooting steps have failed, and although I have not completed them all, I want to see if someone I the adobe community can resolve this issue.
I’ve been attempting to install creative suit on my laptop which has
windows XP version 2011 service pack 3. My internet browser is Mozilla
Originally when I purchased the subscription and after installing attempted to download the actual software to my computer and I was left with an error message stating: “the remote server is not responding in a proper manner. Please retry after a few minutes”. I did and same result.
A customer service rep provided me with a link to a patch.
Once again the install of the program worked but once I managed to get to the download part of it a new error message appeared
“Adobe Download Manager is corrupted and must be reinstalled. Download now (which I did and it takes me to the page with the patch which i was already provided), or contact customer service”.
I returned to customer service and was provided with the creative suite cleaner. I cleared out the original installation and (just in case) uninstalled my trial software Adobe Ill. (which, by the way I have no issues whatsoever installing any trial software. My only issue is with this.)
I installed adobe creative cloud again, install went well once again the same error message has before appeared (the file is corrupted) I can’t figure this out, and it’s killing me. I have on my computer an old version of photoshopcs2 and adobe flash 11 active X (I don’t know if that matters). I’ve tried many different alternatives, went has far has created a new admin account on my computer to see if that will do the trick, yet still left with that dreaded error message. I really hope someone can help me resolve this.

KittieKatNY2013 it sounds like you are experiencing network configuration issues with the Adobe Application Manager. If you are on a managed network please work with your I.T. department to ensure that the Adobe Application Manager/PDApp.exe has proper access to the Internet.

Why download manager?

Hi why do I have to get download manager?
I do not want it!
I do not want any installs other than the ones I need on my pc!
And I'm tired of all companies trying to get me to install all
kinds of crap to get something.
Trying to install flash player as one needs on a pc today
1. why the "auto tick" on McAfee security scan.
   I already have a anti virus.
   Set it to tick if you want it!
   The same goes for all news letters, my mail boxes are already filled
   with various kinds of spam. If you have anything useful to mail to your
   customers, inform them of so and let them deceide themselves if they
   want it or not. By doing so rather than to "hope" that they forget to untick
   The boxes people might read the info Adobe want to share.
2 Download manager is rubbish, I do not need a download manager
   for every single companys software I need to use.
   Neither does it work properly.
Adobe should be a large and serious enough company to let their customers
deceide for themselves what they want of installson their pc's.
B.R. Kris

Cheers, a little more reasearch and I found a direct donwload, got that sorted, but I still find
it disapointing that a company like Adobe uses above mentioned techniques on their main
download links?
Maybe there should be direct linking to the direct download wit an option of using the other
alternatives with all news letters unticket, and a visual focus on the fact that one can have
the news letters of choice if one needs/ wants so?
Cant answer for all other, but I would for sure give me the impression of Adobe being a
serious company Of course I know that Adobe is a serious company I the software they
make, so that is why such disapoints me to see. I find it to be a bit cheeky and Adobe
should not need to be cheeky, It to me it de-values the qualities of the brand.
I would think this would be a factor in establishing a solid first impression with new
customers to, helping the company in verifying their qualities amongst existing and
new customers.
Sorry for being abit upset yesterday, but sometimes one is in a hurry and then it is a
bit annoying when something that should be 2 sec. job turns out to be a "mission"

Sun management software

Hi,
we are looking at sun management software and noticed that it costs about $300+ per client.
what is an alternative to this which is less expensive or free?
what are you other admins doing?
thanks,
~jv

I, too, have been trying to sort out the options and tools for supporting Solaris 9 and 10.
This maybe behond the scope of your question but here is some of what I've uncovered in the last couple of years:
The class Intermediate System Administration (SA 239) has you download the recommended patch cluster and install using ./install_cluster. This works but you will not know which patches will be installed until after the fact. So this process does not support preparing for any changes made by the patches.
The only other process that I have used involve using a non Sun script - pca from http://www.par.univie.ac.at/solaris/pca/intro.html This perl script has many options but the "pretend" option makes it easy to determine which patches will be installed and what revision of the patch is currently installed.
Here are some of the sources I use to try an keep up with patches and other technical details of supporting Solaris
If you have a SunSolve account you can subscribe to email alerts at:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/editSubscribedDocuments.do
There are 6 "collections" of "New Documents". I receive a single daily email. The email contains a numbered list (with URLs) for each collection that has New Documents. The collections are:
BUG             (includes bug number and very short description URL)
INFODOC         (includes short description, the INFODOC number is imbedded in the URL)
PATCH           (includes patch number short description/title and URL)
SRDB            (Symptoms and Resolutions - includes short description and URL)
SUNALERT        (including short description and URL)
TROUBLESHOOTING (including short description and URL)Another source for patch information is the SUNSOLVE[SM] PATCH CLUB report (sign up at https://subscriptions.sun.com/subscription_center/ecomm.jsp). This a weekly email with four main sections. The first section has one line for each new patch with a short title/description. The second section has an entry for each patch with more details (includes keywords, synopsis, Solaris Release, bugid's fixed and other details) - but no URLs. The thrid section is a list of Withdrawn patches. The fourth section has an entry for each withdrawn patch that includes reason and recommendation details.
SUN(SM) ALERT WEEKLY SUMMARY REPORT is another source. This one covers "critical hardware and software issues". It includes the Sun Alert ID and URL. Sign up is at the same URL as the Patch Club report above.
have good weekend,
Glen
