| 85803 | 2002-10-03 19:28:00 | Could those in the know put up thoughts on some good net download software that will enable downloads to be resumed, change download site, etc? I used to use GoZilla a couple of years ago (don't have it any more) and haven't had the need for it recently and am wondering what is available now. Thanks |

Many download managers I've heard do have spyware, so be careful. Mike. |

| 85809 | 2002-10-04 02:18:00 | i use fresh too, it's quite good. Doesn't search for mirrors though, i think. I was thinking of changing to something that does, since I've been downloading lots lately... I'll let you know if I find another good one... |

| 85812 | 2002-10-04 02:49:00 | I've tried Flashget (Previously FlashCar), aqnd that was kewl, but no good for MP3 downloads... Broke them up and stuff. Interface could have been easier. GetRight was rather bulky when I last tried it. It also didnt acheive the speeds I knew that others could. Go!Zilla was good, spyware though. But for music it was kewl, and also it let me set how much of my bandwidth I wanted to use, and it stuck to it well! DAP is nice, easy, fast, and although it splits up the file, meaning music cant be played while downloading, It acheives the fastest speed IMHO, and also works even better if you have Cable! BTW. I use WinMX, so none of the music stuff really matters... Cheers Chilling_Silence |
