Free Download Manager is awesome. Simple, lots of features, and spyware free as far as I know.

Googles works wonders if you google, free download manager...
I have been using it for years (Google and FreeDownloadManager).

i'm looking for recommendations too. i did google for a few but they were either free trials only or contained spyware.

And don't forget the Firefox integration via Flashget (to be fair, it supports many download managers, but FDM seems to integrate better).

Add in the OpenDownload extension and your all set. It adds that nice run feature back to the download popup.

FlashGot BTW.

Just dont pay for it.
it has spyware too
It took me a while to realize what you were talking about.
Then I remembered that I have a much older version that is spyware free and and has VERY light advertising.
Its 5.2. Excellent version, and the last good one before they loaded it up with crap.
It only downloads a handful of really small GIF's and I havent even seen it do that lately.
