| 314202 | 2005-01-15 03:26:00 | I am looking for a good download manager to, well manage my downloads! I could look on my own but the big feature I want is the ability to dynamicaly change the download speed. Simmilar to the way windows has the 'System Idal Processes' that change to 99% when you aren't doing anything and imedatly change when you start something. I would like the same feature in a download manager, it comes on as soon as the internet connection comes on, used 100% of the unused connecton, that is when I pause to write something like this, it would download at 100% and then when I press submit would automaticaly decrese to something like 20% and as soon as the information is submitted go right back to 100%. And to pauser the download when I disconnect from the internet. I would also like: resume from bad stop pause (obvously) free! and would like, but not require: Fire Fox intregration automatic disconnect virus scann Hope someone can help I'm a Downloadoholic :p |

| 314203 | 2005-01-15 04:43:00 | hey there, i am currently using freshdownload, it can be found here (http://www.freshdevices.com). i think it is ok and i have used it for a number of years, you can set your bandwidth it takes to manual or automatic. and its free :) it also intergrates into firefox others include, leechget (www.leechget.net) which i havent completly used before, but its free. there is also getright (http://www.getright.com) but its not free. firefox also has a ok download manager that is built in, im guessing you have dial up, but what os? |

| 314206 | 2005-01-15 08:09:00 | isnt flash get loaded with spyware? | Prescott (11) | ||
| 314207 | 2005-01-15 08:14:00 | No,though it does have advertising,Personally I'm quite put out by its newly implemented pop-up..... | Metla (12) | ||
| 314208 | 2005-01-15 08:23:00 | There's a great FireFox plugin for FlashGet also. | ninja (1671) | ||
| 314209 | 2005-01-15 08:29:00 | The plug-in would be FlashGot no doubt? And yeah,its pretty swish. |

| 314210 | 2005-01-15 09:03:00 | The plug-in would be FlashGot no doubt? My bad... I got carried away breaking that "only post every 30 seconds" rule. www.flashgot.net Incidentally according to the above site it supports multiple download managers - which I wasn't aware of: # for Windows (FlashGet, Free Download Manager, GetRight, Internet Download Accelerator, LeechGet, Net Transport, ReGet and Russian only Download Master) # for Linux / FreeBSD / other Unix-like OSes (Aria and Downloader 4 X) # for Mac OS X (iGetter and Speed Download 2) |
