Go!Zilla

Go!Zilla is a proprietary download manager originally developed by Aaron Ostler in 1995, and later purchased by Radiate in 1999, for use on Windows.It is shareware and its previous ad supported version drew controversy among users and privacy advocates.[2] These particular programs were especially useful when dial-up internet access was more common as it was more difficult to download data due to slow speeds and disconnections.[5] In July 2000 the software won PC Magazine's ZDNet's Seventh Annual Shareware Award for Best Utility and was estimated to be used by ten million people at that time.[6] In January 2008, Go!Zilla was acquired by Headlight Software, and Go!Zilla 5 was the first version released with all new source code and without the bundled adware, which had caused some controversy[7][8] despite notifying users that adware was bundled.
