Haven't you ever met with http:// or ftp:// links with unknown file size. Sometimes, file size is determined incorrectly. But now it is a not problem with Internet File Size. Now you can easily determine file size, type and modification date in the internet.
Moreover, if your base http or ftp link is "encoded" (such as http://www.server.com/downloadfile?id=34532), Internet File Size shows real file http or ftp path.

- Convenient program interface and Internet Explorer integration:
Internet File Size usage is very convenient. You can point http or ftp links by the following:
- use Internet Explorer context menu (use right click on http or ftp link).
- drag and drop http or ftp link from the browser to Internet File Size window.
- drag and drop selected text to Internet File Size window (for example, when your http or ftp link inside the text document or http or ftp link is not validated).
Moreover, Internet File Size can work in tooltip mode. In this mode it works similar to simple Windows hints (window closes automatically after you switch to another application).
- Redirected links support:
If http or ftp link was pointed with redirection (for example in such a way http://www.server.com/downloadfile?id=34532 ), Internet File Size shows not only file size and type but real http or ftp link path.
