What is the best download accelerator?

Hi Mates, wich one is the best download manager free/ paid version?

Free version:
free download manager
orbit downloader

Paid version:
internet download manager
Downlaod accelerator plus
internet download accelerator

I won’t pay for a download manager… why? :wink:
I use FDM.

I use Orbit.

how about flashget?

I use http://www.leechget.net/en/

Download Express
Fast, small and integrates perfectly with Firefox. Oh and it doesn’t have to be resident like most of these downloaders are.
So when you’re not actually downloading, it’s not even running.

Download Express is a free or paid?

Knowing RejZoR probably freeware or he would have mentioned it.

Just did a google for it and it is freeware, http://www.snapfiles.com/get/dlexpress.html.

IE7Pro has MiniDM ( Mini Download Manager )

IE7Pro includes Tabbed Browsing Management, Spell Check, Inline Search, Super Drag Drop, Crash Recovery, Proxy Switcher, Mouse Gesture, Tab History Browser, Web Accelerator, User Agent Switcher, Webpage Capturer, AD Blocker, Flash Block, Greasemonkey like User Scripts platform, User Plug-ins, MiniDM, Google sponsored search,IE Faster and many more power packed features. You can customize not just Internet Explorer, but even your favorite website according to your need and taste using IE7Pro.

Hehe, you know me pretty well. Yeah i’m a big defender of using freeware or opensource alternatives instead using pirated software.
I usually don’t want to pay for software either (or even if i’d wanted, i can’t because i don’t have credit cards that can be used worldwide).
SnapFiles is my primary source. I usually find everything i need there.

Yes Snapfiles.com is a good resource and the servers tend to give a better download speed than the likes of download.com.

Only one…

ciao,
POL :wink:

RejZoR,
Does it have an option to pass along a user name and p/w which are needed to download files from certain sources ?

It’s not Vista compatible :cry:

Yes it is Tech. I’m using it.

Well, why don’t they update their own webpage?
What is this that it won’t be running in background? How could it intercept the download? I suppose it will work as a Firefox extension then… loaded when the browser is loader, am I right?

I’m using it with IE7, as soon as you click on a link to download, it pops up instead of the normal windows pop up. the only thing I had to change was adding MP4 to the list of things to download. ( I watch a lot of podcasts). I don’t know why the page you linked to doesn’t show Vista, But the one I linked to does.

As the same as Free Download Manager…

I have just been trying download express, the free version, it doesn’t give an option for a default location for downloads, it just seems to dump them in the my documents folder. So it looks like the hook to get you to buy the advanced features.

Though from the web site it doesn’t even seem that that option is available on the paid advanced option. So if this is the case and I can’t stop it dumping the ***P in the my documents folder it won’t a long trial it will be history.

That’s odd, It asks me where I want the download to go.
