    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 used to use Free Download Manager, but since FF's is good enough in FF3, I can avoid having another background process going. :D

    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.

    I mostly use Firefox's built-in download manager. Though, whenever I download large files (such as Ubuntu, like Gerri said), I normally use the Firefox add-on DownThemAll!, but it has been a while since I last used that.

    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 always use the one built into Google Chrome. It's actually somewhat more convenient than Firefox and very simple for me to use.

    Generally I use Firefox's builtin manager for my downloads, though occasionally I might use DownThemAll If I'm batch downloading from a site that doesn't try to prevent such batch downloads.

    Just the standard Firefox one. I don't believe in DMs...they don't do anything.

    File, save target as, done...

    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.

    I use IDM (Internet Download Manager): is fast, light and automatic. But it isn't free.

    However, a good download manager.

    PS: don't ask me how can I have it.

    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.
