<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Well, since i switched from IE to Firefox, i found myself needing a new download manager, because my old one wouldn't integrate into firefox properly.

I have voted LeechGet, mainly for the fact that it is compatible with Flashgot, and it allows you to enter it into the context menu as well. Not to mention having all the features i require. Has to be my favourite so far, but i have been meaning to try out Flashget, though i want to be cautious about adware and spyware managers :P

To be honest I don't really need one, and haven't needed one since I was on 56k. You see as soon as I click on a download link, I've literally got it anyway :P

However, saying this GetRight was a very easy tool to use, and I'd recommend it. It's just a shame they started charging for it, as it used to be free. There are ways around this though :P

GetRight for http

Net Transport for rtsp

StreamBox!VCR for mms

[nsane]

used net transport forever, been testing with getright pro lately tho. it has alot of features that come in REALLY handy...like checking the date of the file (good for apps like ares, with all those silent updates) :P

I actually used to use Real Download (From Real) but then i switched to Star Downloader because its waaaaaaay better. Nice features and customizations and works on many browsers. :P

I tried using DAP (cause a friend recommended it to me) but I didnt like it.

Never tried GetRight but it seems good

Currently using FDM. pretty good (simple interface, handles downloads well... atleast better than IE! :P ) I guess and its free :P

Used to download with WellGet cuz it was like a clone of FlashGet but noticed that it used all the CPU Ressources when downloading

I heard that DAP and FlashGet used to be bundled with some ad spywares

Is it still the case? :P It was the reason why I stopped using those 2 heh

Hi Dogg, thank's for the link. I use FDM atm. What I meant in my previous post is another link for the dl manager of Vargas use, got it yesterday.

Thank's again for the link

cheers

[Rudeboy2025]

Um I dont' think it has plugin of IE . It transfers all the downloads from IE, Firefox and so on. Got it at Torrentspy.com

[thunder7]

I have FlashGet, and Meta downLoad Express

[Unbekannt]

DownloadStudio, IDM and LeechGet. :)

[lynnig]

FlashGet. I like the style & setting adjustments. I dislike the spyware.:)

I guess lite said something like that too... but I've registered my FlashGet, and pimped it up with FlashGit. My virusscanner (NOD32), nor FW (Outpost), nor spyware scanners (Windows Defender, Hitman Pro's Scanner(s) and Ewido) ever found anything.

Free Download Manager.

[Sl@pSh0ck™]

DownthemAll! It's a Firefox add-on ... does the work just right.

[manpe]

No internet download manager? It's shame... someone should update the voting list

[DKT27]

Yea that's the reason I haven't voted yet. :blink:

[RadioActive]

umm...you didn't include the most common one, IDM :s

[DKT27]

I just wanted to know, did IDM existed at the time this thread was made?

Yes... their site says copyright from 1999-2009. And checking the update news, it dates back to 2001.

[DKT27]

Hmm. Was it called "Internet Download Accelerator" before? If not then it should be in the list.
