Best download manager

Basically which download manager is the best.., I got DAP 5 and I have yet to upgrade since I have heard about all the crap the newer version is bring'en.

I searched the forum to find a similar thread but they seemed out-dated.

I am yet to find a real nice one..

Best Browser: MYIE2, although I am yet to try Opera since it isn't free

Best IM client: Trillian

Best IRC client: MIRC, although trillian also has a IRC client which seems nice for people who don't use irc every day

Best Telnet client: I am yet to find a feature full non-bulky one.., right now I use a Telnet client I made but it doesn't support color, so I am attempting to make a real nice one but the road seems really bumpy and lately a tree fell in front of the road. when I need color I use GMUD but GMUD doesn't like some protocols...

Best Firewall: Zone Alarm

For Mail: I use outlook XP since it was with office but that isn't free

Best Download Manager: I am yet to find...

I just would like to know which browser seems to be working the best and has a nice interface, ect.

thanx in advanced,
Byan

Meta Products Mass Downloader! (www.metaproducts.com)
Using it for about a year, works as promised and their support is the best. Also there is a free trial period.
Hope this helps.

I downloaded Freshdownload and it reminds me of gozilla back when gozilla was the thing to have (1999 or so), other then that it works pretty well...

the one thing I don't like about it that it doesn't allow you to hide a download window..., and that is going to get annoying..

burget, I am looking for one that is free or the kind of shareware that doesn't bug you...
free trial says it is gonna bug me...

thanx again,
Byan

I use Firefox 0.8 and its built in download manager works well enough for me.

I personally like GetRight and have used it since 2000. Before GR I used to use Go!Zilla 3.5 back in '99 but wouldn't touch any later version since it went pretty much to Crap!Zilla.

Hi,

My Fav has to be Flashget which used to be called Jetcar, been using almost 4 years now, after trying getright and gozilla.

Its Great for dial up services in particular....
