    Re: Download Managers

    If you want a free one then - free download manager. I won internet download manager in a comp and must admit I have been very pleased with it as it does everything you want from a DLM. You can also use firefox's download manager if you like.

    Free Download Manager. They've added all sorts of fluff over the years apparently, but if you disable or don't use all of the unnecessary features then there's a very good, very simple piece of software behind it that's reasonably customisable.

    Desktop 2 (Self-built): 7 Ultimate, CM RC-341, OCZ 400W XStream, GA-MA785GM-US2H, Phenom X4 9600 BE, 4GB RAM, 2TB HD204UI, 32GB OCZ Onyx SSD, Acer P206HLbm
    Laptop (HP Pavilion DM1): 7 Ultimate, SU2300 1.2 GHz, 2GB RAM, Kingston 64GB SSDNow V
    Server (Tranquil SQ-A5H): WHS, Atom 330, 2GB RAM, 3x2TB Internal, 2TB Backup

    Re: Download Managers

    Cool, saw it in the freebies list but wasnt sure if it was still good, sounds like most software now adding so much fluff but keeping the original good stuff intact .

    Will give it a try now!.
