I am stuck with a sat connection for a few months and want to be able to resume downloads with Firefox as the connection/power goes down a lot. The default download manager lets you pause, but you lose the download if you kill firefox.

I've used both of those that Schadenfroh suggested and if I were you I'd use Leechget.

I use GetRight 4.12, and remove the adware with Ad-Aware. Set the monitored file-types (really, extensions), and just right-click the links that you want to download and copy the URL to the clipboard, and GetRight pops up and prompts you to download it.

Hi,

(I'm using this threat to avoid creating a new one.)

So we're talking about download managers? Like programs that stick on background, and when you receive a prompt to save a file from a browser (IE, NS, FF, ...) they just pump in and handle stuff for you? ;)

If so, why not think of the old ones?

Download Accelerator Plus
Internet Download Manager
GetRight Download Manager

What about these ones? Aren't they still valid/updated on a regular basis?

I ask this because I need to install one download manager, and don't use one for quite a few years ... last one I used was Download Accelerator, which used many connections to retrieve the same file, reducing time to complete quite a lot.

Do they all have the same features? Which one should be the best?

What negative points you see in them? (AdWare, SpyWare, ...)

(Schadenfroh: I'm reading the review right now ... nice info there)


Thanks

I'm starting to like LeechGet info I found on the web ... just have one question to make:

Anyone tested it under Windows XP SP2? About a said "connecion limitation" imposed by SP2 ... don't know much about it, but if it's true, will it limit the usage of LeechGet (or any other download manager)?

Thanks
