Best download manager

I don't use one, but if I was to choose one it would be:

Download Accelerator

I have used Gozilla, and Get Right in the pass.
But I don't used any.
I get a fast enough download without it.

It seems that the resume download feature in IE6 is kinda working correctly right now. Anyone tried this yet?

I don't think it works, from what I remember.

No offically testing behind that.

And could you please explain us how can you pause/resume a d/l in Internet Explorer 6?

From my sad experience, if you are disconnected, you lose all and must restart the d/l from beginning

THe resuming feature is actually done automatically once you're disconnected from the server while d/lding. Clicking on the exact link that you've clicked will prompt the save file dialog again. But instead of d/lding from the start, it will resume from where it stopped. Not sure whether this will survive a system reboot or not.

I'm surprised no one mentioned this great download accelerator I use. It's called FreshDownload v3.25, and you can download it here: http://www.freshdevices.com/freshdown.html. I don't wanna sound like some sales person for this program, so you can see the cool features that it has on its own webpage (same as the download URL I provided). So far I'm impressed w/ its GUI and speed, but I hate it when it catches false files w/ a URL such as http://www....com/.../x.cgi?file=....zip and it turns out to be a html file instead. Anyways, I just thought I'd show you guys an "alternative" besides the ever so popular DAP

Yes, that thing I know, but it's not working every time...after a disconnection I had to start over..and what's the point of resuming d/l and cannot restart? This is a thing M$ should really work on for IE 6.1 and >...

Personally I use FlashGET right now. I have tried GetRight, DAP, and all other download manager, but none of them is perfect.

I still can't find a download manager that can download this link.

Try right click the link and open in the new window with internet explorer!
If you know how. Please let me know!

I'm going to have too try some of these out because the latest release of Ad-Aware reported 47 spyware references on my PC all from my paid for version of Dap. I am not happy.

Try Flashget (http://www.amazesoft.com/), one of my lecturers at college uses it and it seems pretty good.

I've used IE6 to resume several d/ls without a problem. I didn't realize that it had that feature, so I was both shocked and pleased when it picked up where it left off, no questions asked.

definately its a toss up between flash get and download accelerator plus. I use flash get for mutiple files(ie 40 or so) but download accelerator for everyday downloading, they are both good.

Which one?

Download Accelerator Plusssss... is the best

Now that I have broadband I prefer no download manager. When I was stuck with 56K GoZilla and GetRight...they both had their unique problems from what I remember.

Works fine for me most of the time, the only time it doesn't resume is if I have to reboot or if the site uses a redirect to a random mirror(because you probably aren't connecting to the same link as before)

I also use GetRight and have since it was first released. There are a few times when it won't work or it hicups but usually that is on a file so small I don't need it anyway.

I use Getright 4.5a and i think it is far better than 'Download Accelerator Plus'. I used to use that program before GR but now i think Getright is in a class of its own. Oh, and i never experienced any acceleration in my downloads with DAP either on my 56k, so i dont know why it is called that?

if youve never used it then i should mention that it is shareware and costs 25$ to register it after the trial period.

Large variety of skins on the site for the client too, and many other cool features, if you havent already, go try it!

Getright 4.5d..the best d/l manager in my opinion..It can re-connect your computer - useful for 56k, disconnect after d/l, shut down your comp, split downloads etc...it also includes a built in browser...

I have always gone with Getright, and I always will do..
