Get Net Transport , is better and is clean.

Hey SH. Do you use the speed limit function in NetTransport? If so what did you set it at?

The default is 2048 KB/sec. Is that a good speed?

DLExpert ( another clone of FlashGet )

Freeware

DLExpert is a multi-thread resuming downloading software. It makes full use of resources of the client and the server to download files from the Internet at the most speedy rate. DLExpert can divide the file into any parts, at most more than 100 parts (NOT ONLY 5 OR 6 PARTS). Each of them will be downloaded by one thread, so different parts can be downloaded simultaneously, resulting in speedy downloading. DLExpert supports HTTP and FTP, also HTTP and FTP proxy. Its function of auto-dial, auto-hangup, schedule downloading and auto-shutdown make it convenient.
