I found this really cool software when I had to download a simple 1mb pdf file and it came in a compressed zip file of 300mb. My job was made really simple with this software called Load Scout, which enable you to download partial content from within the zip files, like if there different documents, or songs you want to download and you don’t want to download the huge zip file, then this software comes really handy. You also comes really handy when you want to preview any media files you are downloading.

You will just need a link of that compressed zip file and the software will create a list of files in that zip file. You can use zip or rar files with this software. I tried both the extensions, worked fine for me, I am not sure about the other extensions. And from that list displayed on the software, you can download partial or full size individual file to your computer.

A click on extract button will direct you to preview any media files you are downloading, which is really helpful to check out the quality of the video you are downloading. This software also works on the ftp servers aswell.
