A Good Download Manager - GoFuckYourself.com

CET · 12-24-2004, 02:55 AM

Anyone know of one? I've spent the last couple of days trying to download a couple of iso's and the downloads keep timing out.

I've looked at a bunch of download managers, but most of them suck ass. I need one that if it loses connection, will save what it has so far and re-establish a new connection to finish the download. Any suggestions? Freeware is prefered since I am on a college student budget.

Thanks in advance.

I use Flashget. It's my favorite but I have never seen Re-Get before.

Download Accelerator is the best I have found so far, but I haven't tried so many. And I heard that DA contains spyware so I dont think its your best choice.

I like Download Accelerator, Gozilla isn't too bad either.

I'm trying that one right now and it keeps failing before it finishes. If there's a way to pick up the download where I left off at, I haven't figured it out.

Flashget is the one to use.

Any more ideas?

OK, FUCK reget. It's been working on an ISO for 2 DAYS now! They can forget me extending the trial period to a purchase on their worthless POS program.

Flashget has been trying to START the download for about 5 minutes now. I started a download without a download manager at the same times I started Flashget, and it's at 12% now.

Download Accelerator doesn't work on my machine. As soon as I start it, it crashes.

Any other ideas?

Getright keeps asking for a FTP username and password. Since it's not my website, I can't give that. *grumble*

Not if you're having the same problem.
