Like the title says.
I’m running Xp with IE7 (Not interested in changing so don’t bother mentioning firfox et al)
I have tried Free download manager
Which I loved - while it worked. The damn thing just stopped letting me download one day. Tried reinstalling but that made no difference.
So then I tried Download Accelerator Plus
Gahh! Downloaded a metric ton of crap onto my computer.
So now I’m seeking to benefit from the combined knowledge and wisdom of the teeming millions in finding a decent download manger.
Cheers

Choose.
GetRight used to be good, I used that back when I was on IE.
What do you expect a download manager to do? (I don’t use one myself, but then I use Firefox, which you’re not interested in.)
I’m on dialup. If my internet connection drops out I can restart the download without starting from scratch. Because download can take forever on dialup I like being able to pause or slow down the download so I could use the internet. With free download manager I could set the speed of the download and the highest speed was twice as fast as I had previously been able to manage.

It works even better with a browser addon tool Flashgot, but you have to use a superior web browser for that, and you don’t.
There’s a great review of the best free download managers at the Techsupport Alert Web site.
Hope this helps.
