.EGT File Extension

A .EGT file is a EagleGet Temporary File, created by EagleGet.

Open with EagleGet. Available for Windows.

What is a .EGT file?

The file extension .EGT stands for EagleGet Temporary File. This type of file is associated with EagleGet, which is a program used to manage downloads. When you download files using EagleGet, it initially saves these files as .EGT files. This is a temporary measure; the file is stored in this format while the download is still in progress. Once the download is complete, the .EGT file changes to the correct file extension that matches the type of file you were downloading.

For example, if you were downloading a video file that is normally saved with a .MP4 extension, EagleGet will save it as a .EGT file while downloading. When the download finishes, the file extension will automatically change from .EGT to .MP4.

It's important to note that .EGT files are not meant to be opened directly. If you come across an .EGT file and the download process is not active, it usually means that the download was interrupted or didn't finish properly. In such cases, you might need to restart the download. However, if you believe the download was completed but the file still shows as .EGT, you can try changing the file extension manually. For instance, if you suspect the file was supposed to be a .MP4 video, you can rename the file extension from .egt to .mp4 to see if it plays.

The primary software that uses and can manage .EGT files is EagleGet itself. Since these files are specific to the EagleGet download manager, other programs typically do not open them. If you need to handle an .EGT file, it's best to do so through the EagleGet application or by manually adjusting the file extension as needed after the download is complete.
