Best Download Manager?

**Kellicros** · October 6th, 2002

Recently, I found my FlashGet keeps corrupting the downloads of my nvidia drivers. So, I think it's time for me to get a new one. Can anybody recomend me a new download manager that works like flashget? Preferable a freeware.

Did you get the latest win98 nvidia driver?
I keep trying to get it from the nvidia site and its allways corrupted and I dont use those download managers.

Getright does the job pretty good for me

I download the the WinXP one(40.71) twice on FlashGet and both of them are corrupted, then I try to download it again with my default browser and it worked.

Getright isn't too bad IMHO. Plus it's plugin works with Mozilla.

Overall Star Downloader is great download manager. Star Downloader can split a file into several parts when downloading. The resume feature can recover broken or interrupted downloads. The simple interface is easy to use.

Using Star Downloader, I downloaded an 80 MB file from a FTP server with a poor connection and slow speed. Star Downloader had no problems downloading the file. When I downloaded the same file with Getright 3.2 the file ended up corrupted!

Unlike other download managers, Star Downloader has no adware or spyware! I highly recommend Star Downloader.

Evill Squall, you should try Getright!! It can do segmented downloads.
