Neither.

FlashGet. It may come bundled with Aureate/Radiate spyware, but Ad-aware (http://www.lavasoft.de) will take care of that, and it's a great tool..

Latest is 0.96b1 I think..if you don't like it, go for DAP.

I had nothing but problems with GoZilla when I first started using a DL Manager. Getright is updated more often and boasts more features.

FYI, GetRight has spyware too...GoZilla as well I believe...go Ad-ware :)

Just a question. Do any of thouse DL programs integrate with Mozilla/NS6? I'm currently using goZilla and its getting annoying to have to cut/paste links all the time.

Ps I'm not too worried about spyware. I know that it examines browsing habits to taylor the adverts. As I minimise the DL anyway I don't look at them.

Betamax-

Not at the moment...I'm sure when NS6 (even though it sucks ass) gets more acceptance, Mozilla support in Download Managers will be supported..

But, FlashGet monitors the clipboard, so just save link as while FlashGet is open works ;)

YES! FlashGet is really the best.
