The link for the free version is on the left hand side. :bounce:
Only downside is the adverts, don't make much difference though.

Man, DAP isn't just full of adware, it is full of spyware too!!
There are plenty of decent downloaders mentioned in this thread.
Most of them are just as fast, if not faster than DAP. If you are happy with spy and adware polluting your pc, fine, otherwise, I would seriously use one of the others.

segmented downloading doesnt really help on 56k,or does it?..unless ur isp is 'down the gutter' pathetic. :dead:
flashget works fine for me and has excellent management capabilities specially if u utilise its browser integration,and i agree DAP is a huge compromise with spywares.

Internet Download Manager is the best download manager I've ever used....I've tried DAP,Getright,Flashget,FDM and so on but I think IDM is the best 'cause it's easy to use ,fast and specially it can catch the link from every soft like limewire,winamp,firefox,opera.........
Give this one a try
I use Internet Download Manager. So far I have had no problems with it, no spyware or adware and they regularly update it. Best of the bunch in my opinion and I've read some very positive reviews about it also.

Ie7?
[LEFT]The only reason for me to use a download manager is because IE6 drops the
downloads before they get started at some places. Or there's just a little
piece of the original file. I live in Sweden, for some reason the downloads
always drop at UK and sometimes at different places around the world. I've
been using Fresh Download from FreshDevices in some years. It was very
good until I installed a later version which disabled the connection totally.
So I unistalled it for good. Now there's broken downloads again and I've
had enough. Maybe I should try FDM this time?
Hello! Why do we have to use download managers at all???
Why isn't it built-in already?
Have anyone tried IE7? (still beta I think) Is it the same? :unch: [/LEFT]

I know Opera has been able to resume broken downloads for years, firefox probably does too. So there really is no reason to use a download manager in Opera, unless maybe you have a super fast connection that can download from an individual source faster than it can supply AND the source has mirrors.

Firefox and Opera limited
I tried Firefox last year and didn't work very well in forums and I've heard
that Opera isn't fully HTML compatible. So I prefer IE because it's most
functional and it's able to view the pages correct. Seems like I have to
install a download manager anyway :suspiciou
However, Opera 9 do have some interesting features and I'll try it later.

no opera
[LEFT]I've tried Opera 9 and I'm not impressed. Actually I had no time to check
out it's downloading features very much because there was so many bad
functions that isn't necessary for me at all. I spended hours trying to
disable the bad stuff. First I decided to keep Opera and learn more
later but today I had enough when I would check e-mal via IE6
and Opera started when Outlook Express was default...
I'll check for a download manager

firefox 2.0 have improved to be a lot better than what you've tried last year.. i haven't run into much of a problem with the current version apart from it not displaying a certain page on my router settings properly. Although in terms of download it only lets you pause and resume while the browser's still open.. once you close it it prompts you to cancel or go back.. i haven't fiddled around with it much..
opera for PC i haven't had a try yet but the pocket PC version i have and its much better than the IE crap on there.. too bad it isn't free..
try star downloader.. its pretty basic manager but does all the basic jobs, minus integration with firefox (IE integration is ok)

Firefox 2.0
The last version I tried was Firefox 1.5.0.4 and I got problems at forums
when making posts and more. I still liked Firefox somehow and actually
I was waiting for a better version. Some pages isn't updated however
and the swedish mozilla webpage was still talking about v1.5.0.1...
Here's available versions in different languages:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
If Firefox still is bad, I'll try FDM
And if FDM sux, then I'll try Star downloader [/LEFT]
