Tried the download manager wxDownLoad Fast 0.5.4 at suggestion of some Firefox users. Using the extension "FlashGot" to integrate it w/ Firefox.
Main problem is DFAST seems to use 100% of the CPU most of the time, regardless of what else is (or isn't) open or running, and whether Firefox is still open or not. This effectively prevents using the PC for anything else while DFAST is running.
There shows to be sufficient free RAM when it's running.
Anyone else used DFast w/ Firefox, and not had this type problem?
Is there a way in XP to limit a SPECIFIC prgm's cpu usage? Tried switching the "Performance Settings" in XP between "Programs" and "Background Services", but made no difference. I didn't think it would.
If any suggestions on free, non-spyware D/L Mgr(s) that would work well w/ my P-3, 1GHz, 512 MB RAM system, I'd appreciate it also.
Thanks.
