Hi friends,
Most of us will be using download managers for downloading the files from the internet. I am currently using GetRight. Please tell about your choice. It will be better if we give preference to freewares in this discussion.

Dear Admin,
I have posted this topic twice by some technical mistake. Please remove the other if possible.
Thanks

i don't use download programs due to the fact most of them are also away for hackers to get you with a computer virus regardless if you pay for it or it for free.

I use Mozilla's Firefox download manager. Since version 0.10 everything is cool. Version 1.0PR has a bug, which let's hole in the system, so attacker can delete your files in DOnwload folder of Mozilla's DL manager.

But you can't resume downloads with the download manager integrated into Firefox.

I use BitTorrent and Limewire. Those are the 2 best ones. I use BitTorrent for the big files and LimeWire for the small ones. It seems that BitTorrent is only for big files anyways. I used to go with Kazaa, but then too many viruses and things.

Bittorrent, Limewire, and Kazaa aren't download managers. These are programs that access a P2P-Network.

solankyno1 meant by "download managers" programs that download files over a http or ftp (mostly) protocol. If you have ever downloaded a file with the Internet Explorer, you may have noticed that closing that download window causes the download to be aborted. Consequence: You have to start downloading again.
The main feature of download managers is the ability to resume cancel/paused downloads. You can queue (We know that word from those P2P programs) multiple downloads.
