26 Aug 10 Direct Download Manager
The Direct Download Manager is another feature exclusive to the Gossimer Control Panel. It helps you save several hours of your valuable time by allowing you to download files to your web space directly from another server via a HTTP URL or FTP URL.
If you need to transfer large files to your web space that are already available on some other server, then you would typically have to download these files locally to your desktop and re-upload them. All of this could take up quite some time depending on the file size and your Internet connection speed. However, using the server-to-server transfer facility provided by the Direct Download Manager, you can utilize the server’s high speed connection to directly download large files. So, even if you are connected to the Internet via a dial-up connection, file transfers will occur at the very high speeds.
This feature is most useful when you are transferring your Website data from your previous Web Hosting provider, as you could just zip up your whole website and instead of downloading it locally to your desktop, directly download it on the server and unzip it there.
