    Download Managers?

    Ive had sever problems with the IE download manager, and AOL runs the IE downloader, so im suffering with problems from both browsers.

    Anyway, can anyone reccomend some Download Managers that integrate nicely into AOL and IE? Doesnt matter if its shareware, a 30-day trial is long enough for me to try and find a fix for my problems.

    Cheers

    GetRight works well in IE, don't know about AOL. They'll probably say something on their site about it.

    I think AOL is based on the IE source so I guess it should work OK....

    Doesn't GetRight have spyware/adware or something?
    My evil laugh has a squeak in it.

    I don't think so, but it's not free.

    But once the spyware has been removed, wont it come back next time you run the app?

    Not if you block it from gaining access to the manufacturers website!

    Block it on your firewall...

    I use Outpost, which doesn't just detect a program trying to gain net access, it also tracks what port!

    Yeah I recently found flashget.Its good...It "splits" the download so it downloads the splits files the same time..So it goes faster.


    I had GoZilla too..It was good but now I hate it(have TOO much time to check it...) because of the ZipZilla which sucked and all the creppy sounds...
