Sun Download Manager 2.0

Learn More

Sun Download Manager 2.0 (SDM) is a small (less than 300 KB), 100% Java application that insures a successful download experience. We highly recommend using SDM for all your Sun downloads. Benefits include:
  • Pause and resume downloads at any time.
  • If your Internet connection is lost, your browser or system crashes, or you need to stop downloading for any reason, you can resume right where you left off. No need to start over again, saving you valuable time and bandwidth.
  • SDM's built-in file verification system works with Sun Download Center (SDLC) to automatically recover from any file corruption during downloading -- you always receive an exact copy of the original file.
  • See the full list of SDM benefits.
