Geez, I can't find a download manager that works!

[johnjohn320]

I tried Go!Zilla, which was great for awhile, but they came out with a new version that really sucked. And, I have to pay apparently to get the old one.

I tried, Download Accelerator, which, even after I configured everything, would never search for multiple locations, even when I KNEW they were there (I could be looking at them on the screen, for instance on FilePlanet). And, it refused to resume files about 75% of the time.

Any suggestions for one that actually works? It doesn't need to have any bells and whistles or anything, ads are not a problem (why would they be?), I'm just looking for a download manager that searches for multiple sites, and that I can resume files with. Thanks!

GetRight. Although I think Download Managers are stupid. I used to use it when I had dialup and it's the best.

Now I'm downloading GetRight, hopefully that will work.

Whoa, talk about timing. Thanks for the suggestion anyway!

Yes, I hate dialup. I have a 56k, and darn it, I want DSL or Cable sooooo BAD!

I used to like Gozilla, but now the newer versions really suck. Sometimes it takes literally minutes for a download to start. Right now I'm using Reget as my download manager. It is basic, but gets the job done quickly.

arod324: Does Reget search for alternate download locations?

I've used GetRight, GoZilla and Download Accelerator and out of the 3 I prefer DA over any of them. Getright was also not bad, GoZilla was a POS.

dl expert is another non-spyware d/l manager, although i don't really care much for d/l managers.

if you want to check each proggy you d/l to determine if its spyware try the following:
