For the last couple of years ive tried and tested a whole bunch of download managers, from freeware to shareware but i keep getting back to LEECHGET, for its ease of use to its features.

I use to use Star Downloader because it was free and light but I started not being able to rely on it's downloads. I would get a lot of curropt files with it so I switched to Leechget because of your post. Thanks for reminding me to take a look at it again. This time it's a keeper.

does anyone know if any other downloaders will use the flashget extension ??? like when someone posts a link and says only can be used in FG, I was wondering if there was something out there that is universal maybe

thanks for the info

really I like it as an extra downloader if needed P2P and bittorrent pretty much in my eyes is the best

:whistle:

I'm too lazy to read this whole thread right now. That said, I agree w/ those who have said this "the best" thread **** is out of hand. You know where this all started? Waaay back in '96 when Super Mario 64 came out and all the game mags were calling it "the best game ever". It when out of hand from that point on in regards to games and tech sites...

100% pure bull****. if you ever participated on demo or bbs scene you'd know that most discussion boards had doors for voting for best bbs software or demo or mod tracker or what have you. it was WAY before crappy mario64 and absolutly has nothing to do w/ that game, any other game or any gaming mags

Hi Guys !

I need a good download manager. I tried with DAP 7. Its good but it took too much time to generate video files after downloading them. I also used ReGet and FlashGet but I want a better one. DAP 7 and ReGet's interface is so nice and easy.

Can you guys name a proper download manager with a cool interface ?

Thanks reading this.

Bye. Take Care ! :)

Well, i've used various managers, and these are the ones that i use at the moment:

LeechGet2004 - Quite useful and interface is quite nice.

Shareaza. Shareaza is not a download manager to speak of, however i've found it to be very fast at downloading large and small files (and reconstructing them). off HTTP / Torrent etc.

Calling these download accelerators isn't correct. The correct term would be download managers or download optimizers. These programs only let you download at the fullest download bandwidth your ISP gives you.

So you'll never find a 'faster download manager'. They all work the same.

As SMeK wrote, flashget is the de-facto standard.

well.. i dont think that is entirely true... suppose you are on cable..like me.. i can pretty much download 800 kbps.. if i am downloading from a source and it maxes at 400 but DAP will find another source at a faster rate.. wouldnt that be accelerating my download.... ??

Getright is obviously the best! It has no spyware, adware and u can use it for free! It has heaps of cool features and i don't know why flashget is receiving all this support for having adware in its program.
