Spyware-free download managers?

[RSI]

Do they exist?

 

[Gonad the Barbarian]

I think Getright is clean now. I read on their main page a while back that the spyware had been taken out and it scans clean with Adaware now.

Sounds good ... but does GetRight download from multiple sources?

DAP used to be, right?
I don't think it is any more.

Anyone have a link to Get Right?

Is Download Accelerator still clean?

getright ...but well it stinks to be honest but is clean... theres a few more lesser known ones that arent that bad... i use DAP cuz it scans clean with adaware and the only thing is that their privacy statement is really one where you sell your soul to them and agree to let them use your name email etc. solution: give false information and crack the damned program...

DAP is the best i believe.. getright's multiple download source never worked well for me. I use a freeware tool called wackget... doesn't do multiple source, but i just drag links on and let it go.. and it's very small.

A company I worked for last year had me do a short study of DAP, Getright, and Gozilla. DAP turned out to be the fastest and smallest.

I'll keep using it until I find out about any spyware.

Run ad aware and it will find about 30 things on DAP.

 

[flavio]

Using DAP 5.0 and ran adaware.....came up with no spyware.


It looks clean so far.

 

[Zenmervolt]

I use Star Download Accelerator. No spyware and seems to be working quite well.

so what's the final verdict, dap does or does not have ad stuff in it. how recently did u folks scan it?

 

[glen]

I installed version
Main 5.0.0.6
IE integration 5.0.0.5
Netscape integration 5.0.0.4
IE Bar 5.0.0.6

Ad Aware found a bunch of stuff.let me see if I can cut and paste it here.

Maybe this is normal:
One of you computer gurus will know what it means.
