Best Download Manager?

[Zenith94]

Hey I am currently searching for a lite download manager to replace the Internet Explorer 8 one. I don't really need one like flashget or anything like that, just something that lets me stop and resume big file downloads.

i use jdownloader but mainly for megaupload and those websites
bad side is its java and a little on the heavy side so if you are not working with a lot of resources can be a pain

Yea I have that but I mean something thats like when you click on a download on IE8 instead of the usual download box appearing you can choose wether you want to save it to the program and resume it later.

Free download manager(its free and small)

I tried that but couldn't find anything that I was looking for. Oh well I guess I just have to wait for IE9 when they improve the downloads.

Never going to happen. It's Microsoft's browser we're talking about here.

If you used a browser like Firefox you could get a small addon to do that.

I was going to suggest flashget as an alternative, though I see you already mentioned that. It does all that you ask for... so I dunno.

You can get a big lot of download managers on Firefox.

Huh? Isn't Mozzilla the company that worked on Firefox?

 

[nitrostemp]

yep microsoft hired them for some extra features on IE like the tabs and themeing.
they got paid in cake a bit of a rip off if i may say so

Why would Mozzilla work on a browser they are competing with... First time I have heard of that.

I remember when Firefox 3 was released the IE team sent the firefox team a cake to congratulate them on the launch.

This is complete BS, Mozzilla would have wanted to get paid in trident layers. Where did you get your information from?

I use IDM (Internet Download Manager). You can specify folders for videos, music, compressed, programs etc. I use it for megaupload mostly. It's nice to be able to highlight 50 links and queue them up.
