xFT was originally designed to download multiple files off the internet in a couple easy steps. This was motivated by web sites that restrict downloads to one or two connections per IP address. Instead of waiting for the download to complete then manually starting the next one, xFT lets you queue many downloads to run one at a time. After the original creation of xFT, more features were added, such as multiple file downloads, web preview, web browser and a couple other tools. Unfortunately, the software is far from being robust at this point.
