558209 2007-06-11 11:28:00 Download Accelerator vs Flashget - which is better? Used to use DAP 5 long time ago but has stopped using it for a few years already. Tried Flashget but don't quite like it. I'm talking about the free versions.

Which do you guys prefer and recommend?

Cheers

Simple and free.

What didn't you like about Flashget? It is now freeware .

No special reasons, actually. Just that it doesn't allow me to specify the download file location every time when I down load. I don't want to download to the fixed location every time. Or is there a way to do this? I would like it to ask me where to store the downloaded file every time, just like Firefox's download.

Is it malware free for the Free version?

558214 2007-06-11 22:09:00 I'm using an older version of Flashget and it always prompts me with the download window which has the location in it. I often change it from the default one to something else.

Works great.

And with the Flashgot plugin for SeaMonkey/Firefox, you can easily queue up a bunch of links from a webpage.

I prefer flashget, because I used it for 2 years old. This program really occupies less system resources.:thumbs:
