'''GetRight''' is a [[shareware]] [[download manager]] developed by Michael Burford. Burford's company, Headlight Software, first published the program in 1997. At the time of its release, one of GetRight's defining features was its ability to resume an interrupted [[download]].<ref name="Pc Pro"/><ref name="PCmag"/><ref name="PractPC"/><ref name="CNET"/><ref name="Digi"/><ref name="Softpedia"/>

==Download manager==
GetRight is able to pause and resume downloads, download from multiple servers to speed up download time (segmented file transfer), scheduling the starting and stopping of downloads and shutting off the computer or disconnecting the modem when the downloads have finished. It is also able to integrate with Microsoft's [[Internet Explorer]], and [[Mozilla Firefox]] with the [[FlashGot]] extension. It features support for the [[BitTorrent (protocol)|BitTorrent]] protocol, [[Metalink]], and [[podcast]] support, along with built-in verification [[MD5]] and [[SHA-1]] checksums. In its time it was{{when|reason=In spite of lack of updates, it is still commercially available, and I'm not sure when it stopped being "well known"|date=August 2021}}  a well known download manager.<ref name="CNET"/>

==License modes==
Version 6 is available in two license modes: Standard and Pro. "Standard" is the continuation of previous versions, while "Pro" contains new features like: upload capability, using scripts for programming its tasks, a simple web server (called "Web Access"), ability to act as a proxy server or work in a Client/Server mode when using two or more computers in a network.{{cn|date=September 2018}}
