I've used DAP for a while and got the crack to use extreme acceleration speed. I tried Get Right and it wasn't to my liking. Any other recommendations such as Gozilla, etc.

I have used GetRight, DAP and many other download programs but I found only one that I really like. It's pretty fast, has lots of features and looks nice too. Try FlashGet 1.4 (latest version I think), I have used it for years now.

Star Downloader
At last. A quality download manager that doesn`t carry spyware - like Gator; and doesn`t carry advertising - like Download Accelerator plus; yet has all the features, and more, of the latest accelerators. Claims speed gains up to 400%. Automatic resumption of broken downloads. Downloads may be scheduled with automatic dial-up and disconnection. An integrated unzipper will auto unzip and install downloaded files. Will integrate your anti-virus software to auto-scan downloaded files. FTP, HTTP, and Proxy supported. Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP. Free. 1.34MB I like Star Downloader. It's freeware & integrates into IE6 & Opera7.

I started using flashget, tried all the others and found myself coming back to flashget again. I think it's by far the best. An in reply to xmen question I guess you could say that FTP clients and kazaa are download managers of sorts in their own right.

I use an absolutely tiny download manager/resumer called Download Mage v1.85c -- the whole installer for it is <280 KB in size.
I've used it to download off Kazaa (when I was running the 'speedcheat' trick for v2.0.0) and I've used it to download off FTP sites.
The interface isn't very pretty, but it is informative enough to do the job.

So which one did you settle on? You've got to admit, any of those have some improvement over the browser's/system's downloader...

It comes down to personal choice really. The reasons for my choice (SD) are: easy to setup, AV integration, browsers integration, resume & pause (no brainer) & it's freeware.

Wizzandabe, your max speed is your MAX speed. I have 56k so a resume feature is important. Granted virtually all dl managers have a resume feature. But windows XP doesn't resume. Some say it does, I could never get it to work properly. And AV integration is a nice safety feature. So the short answer to your question is no.

I agree, Download Mage is good
I also like FlashGet and Download Express

The only reason to get a Download Manager, is for the resume broken links option. With Broadband you really don't need to worry about it.
Any alternate benefit is that you learn a little about how information is sent over the internet. But 400% increase in speed, people are just feeding on the false hopes of young computer geeks who want great DL speed without having to pay for anything more than a cheap dial upservice.

i used to use getright but now i use the one within Opera.. its not as advanced but has the basic functions and more useful in the browser. Getright is probably my fav... u can customise it in so many ways.. it does take a long time to setup agreed but once u have then its pretty damn good.

LOTS of websites are going to very indirect links for file downloads and audio/video media.
I've used Download Mage's leech abilities with some (but not spectacular) success at DOWNLOADING what they want me to only be able to view/listen.
Also, for websites with lots of pictures, I can 'leech' them all semi-easily without having to click on each picture. (good for those porn thumbnails, cartoon sites, and picture-rich news sites)
However, it is only shareware -- most of the leeching features disable after a month, leaving only basic download/resume/download order abilities functional.
But the size and speed of the program means the CPU won't be slowed down by having it running... which is more than I can say about Kazaa Lite++. :(
