What can I do with it?

 

This soft can be useful in several situations:
- when you're on file sharing programs
- all the rest of the time ;-)


When you're on file sharing programs

Let's say you're a Radiohead fan, and you especially love a song called "Karma Police"
Let's do a search:



Here are the first results:



All these files are mislabelled, you can't say which are videoclips and which are lives (or you don't know what show they're from).
So, you don't know which of these files you already have.

Did you ever fight one hour to find a trader for one file and, after downloading, realize that you already have it?

Here is the solution:
Open your own file list with DownloadsLister and sort files by size:



Scroll to the size of one of the results and compare:



That means you already have that file.

 

All the rest of the time

Now suppose you just met an other Radiohead fan on the Internet. Each of you has about 30 videos from the band, and you would like to trade.
Same problem, you firstly have to know which files you have in common.

Just create lists of your files, open them with DownloadsLister and compare them:





DownloadsLister automatically shows the files you both have.


You can also share your files lists, DownloadsLister stores them as formatted HTML files like this one:
