Checketry – the free download manager for gamers – announces that it is working on a feature that will allow users to convert video to an mp3 download.

There are potentially millions of users who use current existing MP4 to MP3 converters and having a built in feature that allows users to convert their files would be a great addition. The feature would be an overlay on the screen that allows users to simply click and convert a video to MP3. We’ll we had the same problems, so we built an app. Checketry helps take the pain and frustration away from downloads that seemingly take forever. More precisely, it is the download manager that lets users follow and manager their downloads for their computers all the way from their phone.

“This feature was inspired by other download managers that had similar features and not to mention existing MP3 downloaders”, said the CEO. “We wanted to recreate this feature so that it is integrated with Checketry’s software for all browsers. Users will be able to convert files both inside the app and natively in browsers. It will save users from having to go to dodgy websites with spammy ads to download their files to MP3s.”A lot of people also still get their stuff from MP3 download sites which can be good.

The benefits of downloading It lets you extract MP4 audio and convert it directly into MP3, AAC, WMA, OGG or Wave format for use on a variety of desktop and mobile devices. The audio and video quality should be top quality especially for a free program, and the resulting audio is supported on everything from Apple to Android devices. Plus, the third-party utility houses basic options for trimming, cropping, and layering various audio effects within an easy-to-use interface. For mp3 download progress slow downloads are one thing, but sometimes it’s not the speed but the reliably of the connection that can be an issue. Whether this be on the side of your internet service provider, or the server you’re downloading from, things don’t always go smoothly. Connections can be interrupted, and the downloads don’t always continue their own, and if you’re away from your device when this happens, it can be annoying.

In terms of capabilities, Checketry works for Google Chrome (via extension), Mozilla Firefox,

uTorrent, qBittorrent and most importantly for gamers Steam. Users can sign in easily using social media or they can make their own account. Downloads and information are secure as Checketry only caches download information and does not store anything permanently. The app is currently available for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android. In the app, in addition to being able to follow progress, users can pause and cancel downloads, set shut down timers for their computers and schedule downloads from the mobile app.

Checketry is primarily targeted to gamers as they do the biggest downloads. “As gamers ourselves, we’ve found that downloading modern games can take forever on most internet speeds. While download games I wasn’t always at home so I wanted to have a way to see how my downloads were doing while I was away”, said Stefan Jeftić. “We found early on with the gaming communty on reddit that a lot of people wanted to know how their downloads were doing while they were away from their devices.” Gamers with slower internet speeds who spend lots of time waiting for downloads are the people who would benefit the most from using the app.

The idea of Checketry came to me (Stefan) when I was downloading FIFA 17 on my PC and I needed to wait over 20 hours for it download on my average Australian internet speed. Initially I left it over night but when I woke up in the morning my PC was turned off because I forgot to change the display settings manually (hence we added the sleep and shut down timer features!). So then, I had to wait during the day and like most of you, I didn’t have time to sit around and wait for it to finish. While the download was running I had to go to university and while waiting for class to start I was wondering how my game download was progressing so I started Googling on solutions and surprisingly found few options to follow download progress, especially for none Steam items. I thought that this could be a good idea for an app and began the concept development and later actual development of Checketry!

To date, Checketry has raised AU$33,000. $25,000 through the RMIT Activator program and

AU$8,000 raised on Kickstarter. Access to the beta is available by signing up at www.checketry.com. These are just a few of the things we’ve found to be frustrating about downloading, and a lot of if, we’ve tried to improve with Checketry. Even though we tried to make this a fun blog, we do believe that the perfect download manager would consider these issues. Besides mp3 download capability, what else do you want to see in Checketry? We would love to hear your opinions. Who knows — maybe we can add it to the app!
