207335 2004-01-14 08:01:00 I am currently happily using MYIE2 as a browser and was wondering
if anyone could suggest a good/system friendly download manager
to use with it.

I want to download openoffice.org but the file is around 70megs which
is quite a large DL for my dialup connection. I don't want it to hang on
82% complete and disconnect or something... I was hoping to find a
manager to help if there was any problems with the DL.

I am running XP home....

Thanks.

Mantis.

For memory, it was quite simple and was feature filled. I'm sure others would agree, but that's my suggestion.

207339 2004-01-14 09:16:00 I use FreshDownload from Fresh Devices - wasn't there a thread about this just a few days ago? tbacon_nz (865)
207340 2004-01-14 19:36:00 well i have tried a lot of them eg: net vampire, getright, gozilla. But the best one i use at the moment has got to be ReGet Deluxe Budda (2736)

Works fine, but they just changed it from freeware to shareware.

When they do this, is it a sign of high demand for a good product and they want to cash in?
When will this happen with Google?

207342 2004-01-15 06:13:00 I use MyGetRight and fine for my needs and free. I like to have the sound on and hear that strange voice at the end say "Your file is done".

207343 2004-01-15 23:10:00 I use Net Pumper, there is a freeware version and it's a really good program.

Also if you're looking for Openoffice... Ithink you should be able to get it on a PC World CD somewhere, that should save you the download?
