DAP Link Checker

Know when a download link is valid while browsing any web page and before you start downloading it!

DAP 10 is packed with a unique Link Checker feature that ensures you know when a download link is valid. Link Checker will give you all the information about the file you want to download, before you download it! Don't waste time trying to download broken links, removed or expired files, and don't wait for endless countdown delays to finish - DAP will let you know what is behind the download link before you attempt to download it - without even leaving the webpage.


Next to any download link, whether it is a direct download or from a hosting site like fileflyer.com, hotfile.com, fileserve.com, Rapidshare.com, etc... you will see an icon () indicating the status of the download. DAP Link Checker will let you know if the file is still online, invalid, or if it has been deleted or removed. It is as simple and as efficient as it sounds.

Here are DAP Link Checker status icons:
File is available
DAP Link Checker is analyzing the link
File is invalid
