Download Manager

[Noodles]

I have been using 'downlaod accerlerator plus' for

a few years now and have had no problems.

I was thinking of upgrading to the DAP 7, but have heard

lots of bad reports about the amount of spyware associated with it.

Can anyone recommend a similar product with similar tools that

DAP offers...such as being able to resume downloads when line droppd etc.

Thanks for your comments

i use stardownloader , and have no problem with it, it resumes dropped downloads, even if your connection has be cut, automatically. you can also schedule, but i haven't figure out how to use that yet. also, no adware or spyware that i am aware of. and integrates well with opera and aaiiieee.

Thanks for your reply Joka, i will check that

one out.

Does anybody have any views on Fresh Download? I just noticed it

on a previous thread.

I find using Firefox that the downloader that comes with it is fine for everyday downloading. You can add an extension called Download Manager Tweak to fine tune it.

I did use Fresh for a while as a few people recommend it but l didn't like getting mail on a regular basis trying to get me to use other programs they have so l got rid of it.

Another popular downloader is Leech Get which l some times use. It's okay.

A lot of downloaders come with a bit of spyware so do a search on either Lavasoft or Spybot where they had an article earlier this year about which downloaders to avoid.

I tried Stardownloader a while back, but never could get it to increase download speeds, despite playing around with the various settings. Anyone have any more luck?

I have been using Star downloader for three years.

It works with Mozilla well.

I just downloaded and installed Leechget 2004, and

so far I am quite impressed. It has the windows format

and alot more tools to use than DAP
