Despite the fact that web browsers have long acquired the function of downloading files from the Internet, the mechanisms used in them are significantly inferior to the capabilities of special downloader programs. Such utilities can work directly with specialized tools for downloading files, they can maintain a connection even if the client (computer or smartphone) loses its network connection. This review will focus on one of these utilities called Mipony. What kind of program is this? How to use it? What problems can arise when working with Mipony? We answer these and other questions in the material presented below.
Mipony: what is this program?
Mipony is a classic file downloader. This is a universal utility that can download and upload files from the Internet bypassing a web browser. It is distributed for free and has a large set of features that are not typical for free downloaders. The utility boasts a minimalistic interface and works under the control of any modern operating system, including Windows, macOS and Android, and can also be controlled remotely. Detailed product features are described below.
Key file upload features
The observed utility was primarily created as a convenient tool for downloading files, while it was assumed that the client would bypass the inconvenience that host sites that contain data in themselves. The program itself checks the list of requirements, enters the captcha code, waits for time, and then starts downloading files one by one. Everything happens automatically. Downloading is as fast as possible, the utility squeezes the maximum out of the available communication channel.
As soon as the user adds a link to download the file, the program takes control of the downloads of the file in the background, without attracting attention. Even if Mipony is closed, the process will not be canceled, but will be put on hold until the utility is launched later. The user can also prioritize. Some files may be queued, their download will begin after the priority download has finished.
If any error occurs during the process, the program will automatically try to take all measures to continue it from the point of the break or from the very beginning. The user can control how many files can be downloaded from each specific server.
Some files are stored on host resources in a split form. If you download manually, you will have to independently search for these files and start several processes at the same time. In the case of Mipony, the program will do this for you. Mipony also automatically monitors links that the user copies to the clipboard, and if the link stores a file or several in it, the program will try to download them.
Browser Integration
One of the advantages of the program is the ability to integrate the utility into the browser. During web surfing, it scans sites for links in them that are suitable for downloading certain files. Mipony also checks to see if files remain on the server or have already been deleted.
A special mini-assistant program allows you to redirect all boot links from your browser to Mipony, and it will take care of the rest. Mipony also occasionally scans the most popular websites for downloading files.
Instructions for working with the utility
Now, knowing what the utility is, you need to learn how to use the Mipony program. Despite an extensive set of features, the program remains very easy to manage. To get started, you must:
- Highlight the link where you can find the download file or the website on which it is stored.
- Paste the link into the program using the "Add Links" button or the "Paste and detectlinks" button. This step is optional if the option Capture is enabled in the program. You can also send the program a link to the site itself, and it will start downloading all the files from it. Immediately after completing the step, the utility will check the operability of the servers and begin the process.
- Then you need to press the button "Start downloading selected links" (Downloadselected).
- Once the files are downloaded, the program will offer to merge them into one, if necessary. You need to click the “Joinfiles” button and save the result by clicking the “Save” button.
Remote control
Mipony also has two options for remote download control. One of them is a web client adapted for desktop computers and mobile devices. With it, you can start and stop downloads, delete them, enter captcha. For devices running Android there is a separate application. With it, you can manage downloads, clear their list, and also receive notifications about the end of the process directly to your phone. The application is available on the Play Market.
Plugins
Small programs have been developed for Mipony that can automatically enter special captcha without user intervention. One of the most popular plugins is Deathby Captcha. The creators of the plugin have been working in this field for over 7 years and provide the most effective tool for entering captcha. The plugin works almost unmistakably, quickly and does not load the computer. There are products from other manufacturers, but they work differently, and some even require a board, so installing them is not recommended.
Criticism and reviews
Despite all these advantages, the program Mipony reviews is not the best. The fact is that, providing the opportunity to use the utility for free, the developers decided to make money on advertising and affiliate programs. When installing Mipony on your computer, you need to be prepared for the fact that with it will be installed many other programs whose owners paid the developers for such an aggressive promotion. Therefore, you should find out in advance what kind of program it is. Mipony is among the adware viruses and is full of ads. If you are not ready to put up with this, then you need to remove the utility and check your computer for viruses and ad banners using specialized software.
Mipony Blog: what is it?
The developers also took care of creating their own block, on which various kinds of information appear. What kind of program is this? Mipony plugins and their updates. New versions of all applications, including those designed for remote download management. They also write about updating the database with host resources and servers. Fans of the program and users should visit this resource from time to time to learn more about Mipony and its capabilities.
Ponydroid
Already by the name you can understand that we are talking about special software for devices running on Android. Why do we need the Mipony program, we already know, which means we know what the Ponydroid application is for. This is a mobile version of the same bootloader. The set of features is almost the same. The program automates your downloads, automatically controls the entire process, continues to downloads if a disconnection occurs. The utility is able in the background to wait for the time limits that host resources introduce. Of the minuses, it is worth highlighting the absence of plugins for automatic captcha input. Like the remote control utility, the Ponydroid application sends a push notification to the user about the end of the download.
