cerbero Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 I think a lot of people use Speed Download 2. I don't know of a free one unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPeedY_B Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 I use Wget, not sure if that's to everyone's tastes though. There's an OS X/Darwin port of it available at this site [link] along with a Cocoa front-end app, which I'm yet to try and therefore can't vouch for :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the evn show Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 add another point for wget command line version. though on occasion I'll use curl to grab things too (included with os x) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Dorr Veteran Posted January 17, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 17, 2004 Well, wget and curl aren't really download *managers* they just download things... I think Speed Download would be the best option, but search on macupdate.com. I think they have a category for it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
