The real word is out: FlashGet is the BEST one out there. It's not really that newbie-friendly, but it's got a lot of customisation options and if you know what you are doing, you can really suck every inch of your available bandwidth on this devil! I've also used DAP which is good but not that customisable and not that easy to use. For example, you cannot change the download acceleration speed while in the middle of a download.

Flashget rules, BUT GUYS -- beware of a leaked Flashget 1.65 Beta version that is doing the rounds on some warez sites. It's full of adware and browser hijackers which won't be removed no matter how updated your Spybot-S&D or Ad-aware is. Wait till an official version comes out.

well after reading all the posts by members i used the following D Ms .
1.getright.
2.fresh download.
3.download express.
4.leechget.
5.dap 7.2.

the only DM which cud come closer to flashget was download express.

so me thinks that flashget is the best DM available

Well, in spite of my support for Flashget (or whatever you all are supporting) we should remember this is a post discussing what we personally think is the BEST.

All the same, new developers and software should always be encouraged :)

I tried these

1) Go Zilla - outdated and bugged.
2) Leechget - good speed and is very easy.
3) Download Accelerator PLus 7.2 - It doesn't have good options like How many simultaneous threads.

Leechget doesnot show the real speed at which its getting the file !!!!

Leechget also doesnt show the real size of file curruntly completed !!!!!

it shows fake numbers to fool the user !!!!

it shows increased speed to to fool U !!

i'm not joking, its the FACT !!

I used all the DMs listed here and some more...but finally came to peace with FG...the only thing that i miss is the individual scheduler for each download....and regarding download frm warez sites, hav any one tried the DM bundled with Opera.
I use Opera for download with small files while surfing at the same time...it adjusts the download speed with surfing speed...with FG u can limit the bandwidth....but its not the most optimal option.

i use DAP 5.3.9.8

new versions of DAP suck. also wat sucks in all dap versions is that it makes seperate files of all its sections and then join them after it completes which takes really long for huge files. another thing i u cant change the number of simultaneous connection after u have started it.

wat i found better was flashget which makes one file from start and u can chnage the number of threads dynamically.

I have tried several download managers.. and found STARDOWNLOADER the best.. no ads, no pop-ups and no spyware... DAP sends in too many cookies which Adaware detects. Stardownloader is blindingly fast and works on all sites including warez!
