i use flashget and its good. i havent used any others, so i cant compare.

wget

Go 'wget http://the.url' in the console to start, and if the download fails, go 'wget -c http://the.url' to continue.

In the process of building a DM to interface with it. I'll get back to you on it.

*nix only, of course.

getright is the best i've used, i've tried flashget, godzilla, and d/l accel.

DAP (pro/full version) is good one...
works fine... you can download all links on a page... download basket...

i also use netpumper for anti-leech stuff.

I've always liked GetRight.
I used GoZilla for a while and it just irked me..

I don't download much from the net anymore tho

IRC is the way to go

lol useless post there tonberry

dl manager... id say flashget

way better than gozilla getright dap blah blah blah

i get faster speeds with it and can get into busy servers easier

 

[fatmuscle]

just don't use any and play the waiting/patience game

depends what u want to do, if u just want to download and not use the net, u use DAP, if u want to still use some of the net for like browsing, use gozilla to cap the download speeds (dunno if it actually works though, haven't used it in a long time)

btw, does anyone know a program that can cap speeds of particular programs that run using the network / internet?
I know 'NetLimiter' does, but that's some dodgy trial version

Ooh. I just found out an option for wget that'll throttle your bandwidth usage:

wget --limit-rate=2.5k

Sub a value in instead of 2.5k (k for KB, and use m for MB. Case matters).
