D/L managers

What exactly does a D/L maanger do, multi-source downloading? If thats what it is I love it! Got up to like 1406.4Kbits/sec(from 12 sources).

Are you talking about a program like "Gozilla"? You can find out about it here: http://gozilla.com/index.htm

Logan,

Read this before you use any of the downloaders.

This does not apply to all of them but be forewarned before picking one.

Good luck.

Just in case, STAY AWAY from Gozilla! it's full of spyware. It has recently been sued.

I use Download Accelerator, it's a multi source downloader. It's great on my DSL. But I didn't use others so I can't compare.

My vote goes for MetaProducts Download Express. No spyware, easy to use and very light.

Another vote for Download Accelerator. I wouldn't even use a download manager if it wasn't for the resume feature tho, dsl is fast enough for me.
