I've become quite interested in download managers lately and I'm just wondering what the members of PC use. =D

I would add a poll but I don't know the name of many download managers. =\

I use the download manager in whatever web browser I'm using
usually Firefox
Firefox's and Safari's are fine. Opera's is okay, but the rest are pretty sad. Does IE have resume support yet? I haven't used it in ages.

erm I use safari's download manager because it works well enough for me, though for downloading larger things like Ubuntu install discs I prefer to use transmission because I can set it to use a pre-determined limit on transfer speed, allowing everyone on my network to continue using the internet like normal with out any noticeable lag.

98% of the time, FF's builtin dl mgr.. for the rest (and for multi-file downloads) I use the Down Them All FF plug-in.

I usually use the one built into Opera. It is just convenient, and it works like it is supposed to without giving you BS. Sometimes I use FlashGet Classic, but only when I am deviantArt (because DA is finicky on my laptop for some reason, and will only let me upload in Internet Explorer).

I mostly use Firefox's built-in download manager. Though, whenever I download large files I normally use the Firefox add-on DownThemAll!
This is what I use except I probably use it more often, I use it mostly when downloading roms.
I'm thought about Orbit before but I don't think I do enough downloads for that.

It's not like it's anything big or fancy, and for a free rapid downloader it's cake :P

I use Firefox MOSTLY, because I don't do much fancy downloading. However for large files i have Free Download Manager. It can resume downloads, do torrents and web spiders as well.
70% of statistics are made up on the spot, so why have them in your sigs!

When I'm downloading a image or MP3, 99% of the time I use Firefox's built-in DLM. However, whenever I'm downloading a game or something else that's larger than usual, I use DownloadThemAll.
