Hey all, I've seen a lot of talk about download managers lately and decided I would take the time to look around a bit. I use a dial up connection and am very aware of the problems Spyware, Adware, and Malware can cause to an internet connection. With this in mind I am good at getting rid of it and avoiding it. Therefpore I want you all to be safe from these dangerous programs as often as possible.

Give this site a quick read and see where your manager falls, in the good or in the bad :ok:

I don't use dl managers any more. I did use Go Zilla a long time ago when I had dial-up (wow thats been reallllyy long ago) cause it had the option of pausing and resuming downloads.

Mine isn't even listed on there, but it's fairly new and it beats them all anyway. :)

I don't trust any myself except those included in Opera and Firefox

I'll try it.

I like any download manager which can load all files with needed extension from the web site. (opera one can't do that)
