| 312210 | 2005-01-09 00:45:00 | I'm looking at d/l'ing the Flashget download accelarator software, but before I do, does anyone have any idea if it contains any spyware/adware? Is the prog actually any good? |

| 312211 | 2005-01-09 00:53:00 | it used to contain cydoor spyware but all the add's are now done "in program". unfortunatly it uses IE to display its popup adverts. a bit of a shame as its a good program. the older spyware ver (with spyware removed) dosn't suffer this problem. getright is ok (tho i miss a few features of flashget) and dosn't display adds. |

| 312212 | 2005-01-09 00:56:00 | Ive used it before. Dont think it has spyware, but it isnt free either. It used to have ads until u register it tho. I would get I think its free download or something. I cant remember the exact name. BUT its free and spyware free. BUT I think you have to let them send u an email, so u can register it for free. |

| 312214 | 2005-01-09 01:30:00 | Thanks all. I think I'll try getright instead. | Catweazle (2535) | ||
| 312215 | 2005-01-09 01:34:00 | or leachget and freshdownload are good too, i use freshdownload but i have heard many good things about leachget | Prescott (11) | ||
| 312216 | 2005-01-09 02:52:00 | Thanks all. I think I'll try getright instead. I used to use FlashGet but switched to LeechGet which I think is better. No ads in the free version and no nasties. Thoroughly recommend it. |
