221025 2004-03-08 00:50:00 Can anyone recommend a good free downloader that does not have spyware. Or failing that what are the recommended ones these days.

221028 2004-03-08 01:08:00 Ordinary downloaders or P2P downloaders?

Leechget and Flashget don't have any spyware and are good.

221029 2004-03-08 01:26:00 I use FreshDownload (from Freshdevices) at the moment, though I haven't seen how that compares to the others mentioned. It has no spyware and is free, but after 30 days or so you have to 'register' with just your name & e-mail address - their site's privacy policy assures that these personal details are kept secure. The only issue is that it doesn't seem to capture downloads under Mozilla Firebird, so I either have to use the older Mozilla browser or IE. D. McG (3023)
221030 2004-03-08 01:41:00 Ive used Star-Downloader and although the interface could do with a little work, its fast, effective, spy-ware free etc :-)


Chill.

221031 2004-03-08 01:48:00 Flashget is great.

The built in download manager in FireFox is also quite nice.

221032 2004-03-08 03:55:00 flashget is great however if installed in adware mode it installs cydoor adware/spyware. best thing to do is use it in shareware mode or install a fake cydoor file. tweak'e (174)
221033 2004-03-08 08:13:00 I suggest Star Downloader.
Have used it for several years - easy to configure and very efficient.
