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

Try Flashget (http://www.amazesoft.com/), one of my lecturers at college uses it and it seems pretty good.
Getright for me, though I'm pretty biased since I've used it almost as long as I have had NET access...

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!

I quite like ReGet and GetRight. They seem to do the job reasonably well, they have probably been mentioned already, but I just don't have the time to look through all of the posts in this thread .

I've used both GoZilla and GetRight and a couple of others I don't recall which. The problem with download accelerator programs is SPYWARE! which they all seem to have since I turned to DSL and run SpyWareGuard, SpywareBlaster & Spybot Search & Destroy and see just what's happening at all times. My personal best, when I was using 56Kv90 was GoZilla.
my 2 cents worth.

Try the free Star Downloader from http://www.stardownloader.com/
I have wireless broadband (512KB up/512KB down, unlimited) and it is blazingly fast.
Been using it for over a year (first on a 56K dial-up until April '03),
does exactly what it says on the tin, ehhh.. see below.
(Text copied from the website)
Star Downloader is a download accelerator that can increase download speeds by up to 400 percent. Unlike similar applications, it is completely free. It does not contain any banner ads or spy-ware.
The acceleration is achieved by splitting the file being downloaded into several parts and downloading these parts at the same time. Download speeds are further increased by downloading the file from the fastest mirror sites.
You may automatically resume broken downloads if your connection is lost or if your computer accidentally shuts down. With the scheduler, you may download files at certain times of the day. Star Downloader may also automatically connect to your ISP and hang-up upon completion of downloads.
An integrated unzipping utility can automatically unzip and install downloaded files. Star Downloader also integrates with your antivirus program to automatically scan files upon completion of the download.
Star Downloader supports FTP and HTTP. Proxy is also supported.

I recently switched over Star Downloader given that its freeware versus Download Accelerator that remained shareware (and even came with spyware in recent versions I believe). So far StarDL has worked like a charm for me.

Yeah I tried this quite a while ago and really like its setup and features. Not sure why I got rid of it, but now I don't use any accelerators
