download managers

[gofeddy]

guys, i wanted to know which is the best download manager in terms of downloading speed. right now i use dap. shall i continue with it or is there anything better than this?

 

[Vishal Gupta]

All d/l managers are equal, the difference is in the features they provide!
But I'll suggest u to leave DAP and go for Flashget/IDM/FDM

 

[shantanu]

I AM using IDM for a long time gives great speeds and good and handy go for it!!

Well, I don't use any d/l manager but use Opera & Mozilla for d/l.
Any d/l managers I have tried, can d/l @ 32 KBps on my 256 Kbps connection & Opera & Mozilla can do that also. So I don't use any other s/w for that.

i use FDM

 

[Vyasram]

use flashget, best performance for free

 

[anandk]

i think IDM is good freeware. i prefer to use getright, as mentioned above they dont cause a difrnc in dowload speed...c which one suites u;
but stay away from these download managers !

Same here to.

Why install another app. & waste Memory/resources when the browser itself can do that.

Opera has a good in-built Download manager, performing "Pause, Resume, Restart..." functions.


there's no d/l speed difference, if i'm downloading something, it usually d/l @ 30-32KBps.

All this ^^ applies if you're using Opera 9 / mozzila (though i havent used the later)

Try 'Internet Download Manager'

 

[Tech Geek]

Flashget ofcourse

 

[sariq]

Yes, opera's inbuilt download manager is good. it has resume feature.

 

[Tech Geek]

But when you resume winrar or winzip kinds of files they start from the begining.

Yeah anandk, I guess you meant FDM which is free :]

 

[ssk_the_gr8]

FDM is the best

 

[shantanu]

ya, i stand corrected...

 

[Choto Cheeta]

DAP is good enough but Flashget may be better i used to stick with DAP.. still i dont see dap as a bad performer but i liked Flashget over DAP... reason was Flashget alocates the memory before i starts the download.. so no fear that u may run out of space where as DAP just keep filling up as the download prograses.. so with a 4Gb file suppose at the 3.9 GB u found out u have run out of space... ??

Exactly!

I think u r talking about compressed files from RS etc. Not only Opera but other d/l managers r also unable to provide the resume feature for free d/l from RS.
