The best free download manager software? (or download accelerator..)

Hi everyone,

What is the best free download manager or accelerator software?

I know about Internet Download Manager (IDMAN) but it is not free,
once the trial version finishes you need to pay for it (and I can't pay
for it cause I can't send money from where I live.. grr lol)

Any good idea?

Thank you!
SSG.

 

I haven't used these programs since moving to broadband more than 2 years ago.

I find that firefox can manage my dowloads pretty well.

Back in the days I use to use GetRight

Not sure what has changed since I last used it but have a look here http://www.getright.com/

BTW: Its not free.

 

Yoh,

Hello freespace, thank's for your reply.

Infact I have an ADSL 512 kb speed connexion, and it's ok
Download transfer speed: 26 ko/s

Using Internet Download Manager: 50 ko/s on average.

That's cool, it's just that sometimes I don't want to wait
too much for a file to download, and IDMAN helps a lot.

I think I'll just keep the trial version for now, quite useful.

If I find a better free downloading software I'll post an
update here.

See you
SSG.

 

Hi!

So, nothing? Not even a historical info about a downloading software
that saved you hours and hours in the past?

I'm curious about that.

See you,

i used to use FLASHGET .

now i just use firefox with plugin .

This is my fav: FlashGet (http://www.flashget.com/index_en.htm)
You can "combine" FlashGet with FlashGot if you use Firefox

 

I used to use Firefox extensions called DownThemAll. Otherwise, you can try Free Download Manager (FDM)...it's free!!

 

I use only Firefox DownLoad Manager. It is Good.

 

Yoh!

commandos, golddragon, nekizar and blackwisard, thank's for
your reply

Still curious about downloading speed, how much do you usually
download per secound?

See you,
SSG.

 

freedownloadmanager and freshdownloadmanager are decent freeware alternatives.

www.freedownloadmanager.org & www.freshdevices.com are their respective URL's.

 

I have been using SKDownloader for quite some time. Very simple and powerful .

I use FlashGet and it has been the best one I used so far. It is also free.

 

Internet Download Manager is the best. Jdownloader is another great option.

 

Dear supersimpleguy, you are right that when IDM runs out of trial version it become unable to get it back unless you re-install your OS. This is another technique to get IDM back but its not so easy, i know that. Instead of it you can also download the crack version of IDM from any torrent site they are available there. If you really believe to get it.

Commandos Thanks for this post.

 

Internet Download Manager and Orbit

 

I use DownThemAll (DTA) Firefox extension and it's pretty nifty by all accounts

 

Yes I also love to use this downloader.
Recently I am using 5.18 version of IDM.

 

FlashGet is much better, even if lots of ads on its UI.
