Title: Download managers?
Post by: Azazel on June 05, 2007, 08:21:24 AM
What's a good, non-bloatware, non-spyware, non-other nasty shit DLM that's easily togled off when you're not leeching massive files?

There was a decent one that was linkd from the LOTRO beta, but I uninstalled it and now can't remember what it was called.

Free Download Manager (http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/) works well. I use it with FireFox with great results, I'm not sure about how it works with IE, or if it does at all. No spyware, not bloated, works perfectly and only turns on when you choose to use it (embeds into the "save as..." dialog box).

*Edit - Forgot I still had an IE7 install, so I confirmed it works without a hitch on that as well.

I use Orbit (http://www.orbitdownloader.com/).  Really nice downloader that integrates with flashgot so good for grabbing embedded videos and flash.

How are these different than the one that comes in Firefox?
