[POLL] Download Managers 2009 -Member ChoiceWikipedia defines a download manager as: a computer program designed to download files from the Internet, unlike a web browser, which is mainly intended to browse webpages on the World Wide Web (with file downloading being of secondary importance). While we have no poll category for web downloading programs like WebReaper , I decided not to include them in the poll, but feel free to mention one if you also use it for downloading. Technically they would be more of a spider/crawler but some download managers have that feature (like Conceiva which I use). Also not including questionable or illegal ones (StreamboxVCR illegal in USA but ancient now). And here is last year's poll in case you want to see what was said or copy something over to this years DM Poll 2008 |

Great poll Rxdoxx! Thank you! I've played around with many in the past, but as of now (and as my friend dadkins mentioned), "I use FlashGet... or just let the browser(s) do it". As long as my particular download is successful, I don't care much these day how long it takes, nor do I care about any fancy additional features. And speaking of "letting the browser do it", I also voted "Opera's Built In Transfer Manager". I may be hallucinating (believe me, it's quite possible), but I'm always amazed at how fast I can download a file with Opera. |

Most of the time, I just use the IE diownloader, but for those times when the file(s) I want is huge, I'll use StarDownloader as multiple simultaneous connections can often speed things up substantially on sites that allow it. |
