for curiosity's sake as well as my own, why aren't download managers the in-thing with us?

I would assume that download managers themselves are not the problem, just connecting multiple times from the same IP address. The idea behind these multiple connections is to increase the slice of the server's bandwidth that is devoted to the users downloads.
If you make sure to set your download manager to only use one connection then there should be no real problem. I know some folk like to use the pause/resume features that you get with them, I did back when I was stuck with dialup.
FireFox download manager also allows you to pause downloads as well as a few other browsers out there (Opera possibly?)
