I would like to offer this download manager for those who need one.
I read somewhere that many are 56kers and need one that supports pause, and many zip format.
This one is free, with its own registration code. I use it too download anything over 3 gigs.

\'eh I almost had a heart attack when I\'ve saw your nick :D I read from mistake \"cyo\"
Anyway, nice program, I will try it now to see if it really worths. I will make some tests and then post them here :)

Hope this one isnt like others. Alot others take over all my downloads and make them slower. Somtimes it wont let me even quit the program ha!

Not to mention the spyware that seems to come with most download managers X(

Spyware isnt really bad if you quarantine it all before running the program

That\'s great if you either know the program has spyware or if you have another program that handles it for you. Problem is I have seen too many computers cluttered with spyware because people didn\'t know to take the necessary precautions before hand.

As I promised ...
Download Accelerator Plus 7
- One of the most popular download managers
- Works, let\'s say good with Internet Explorer, succeding to \"catch\" most of the links in IE. As for Opera or other browsers, the things are a little worse, it couldn\'t \"catch\" any link.
- As an unique feature, i have to mention the \"Always Resume\", that transffers the file that you are downloading to the Speedbit servers (creators of DAP), from where you can resume anytime you want. This way you can resume even files from servers that can\'t allow resuming.
FlashGet 1.6
- The follower of the well known JetCar it\'s not a program that you can pass by. It\'s relative powerful, and what makes it special is the feature that can download all the links from the page, and the built in filtre for this.
- It didn\'t catch some of the IE links
- It needs a plug-in to work with Opera, though even then it\'s not very bright
FreshDownload 7
- One of the worst programs, having few features
- The results with Internet Explorer are below limits, couldn\'t catch the majority of the links.
- As for Opera, things were quite strange, catching most of the links.
GetGo Download Manager 2.5
- The worst program in test, it\'s a program without too many features, maybe because it\'s relative new to this market.
- I have to mention that the program was mainly built for Internet Explorer, so as for the users of other browsers ... just forget it (Tip I would give to IE users as well)
GetRight 5.2
- It has the most features
- Very powerful
- It works resonable with Internet Explorer (though it missed some links)
- It needs a plug-in to work well with other browsers like Opera
- It can split the file in download in only 10 pieces
Internet Download Manager 4
- The big surprise of the test, the program worked very good
- It catched ALL links from Internet Explorer and Opera without any plug-in
- Decent features
Mass Downloader 2.7
- Not a very bright program
- Didn\'t catch most of the links from IE, as for Opera ... it didn\'t catch any link
- It can teoretically split the file in download in 100 pieces, though the program blocked every time I tried that. Luckly I have Windows 2003 lol
- It can download 100 files in the same time, as well, the program blocked again
ReGet Deluxe 4
- The best program in the test, I recommand it to anyone
- It crushed its opponents at everything, trying to get ALL links from IE and Opera (you need a plug-in for that)
- It can catch links even if it\'s closed
- The files in downloading can be split in unlimited pieces
- It can download unlimited files in the same time
- It has 3 options - Suspended/Cooperative/Unlimited, from where you can select your internet bandwith
- It can split files in downloading even from FTP Servers
Final results ...
1 - ReGet Deluxe 4
2 - Internet Download Manager 4
3 - GetRight 5.2
4 - Download Accelerator Plus 7
5 - FlashGet 1.6
6 - Mass Downloader 2.7
7 - FreshDownload 7
8 - GetGo Download Manager 2.5
Ok, the results are based on personal tests AND tests taken from several pc magazines and specialized web sites.
Because most of the programs are commercials or adware, if someone wants one of them, just email me (my Private Message Place in here is full) and I will send you a direct link to download them full.
