Best download manager

[Byan]

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
