I am using download accelator plus, but I don't really like it... Is there any other download management downloads? I am looking for somthing so I can resume easily (I am on dial-up so it takes a long time) I generly spend about 20-30 HRS a week downloading, while I am sleeping, and somtimes download accelerator crashes,it stops for the rest of the night and I may only get 50 MB saved when I have the potential for 140-150MB
Thanks

Although I don't need a download manager (I have broadband), I have heard that Speed Download is very good.

Michael. What don't you like about DAP? I've used it for years & it suits me fine. I've tried most of the alternatives & find them all inferior. Some are even known spyware.

somtimes it "performs an illeagal operation" and it stops downloading When I have the ability to downlaod 120-140 MB a night and I only get 30, 40, or 50 MB, that isn't good...

Ah OK. I don't go in for bulk downloads. That's being greedy.

It's quite likely the problem is not with DAP but caused by sites that don't allow it. I'm happy with one file at a time.
