To me, FlashGet is the best download manager I’ve ever used. I’ve been using it since many years ago and today I am still using it. I’ve tried ReGet, GetRight and Download Accelerator Plus(DAP), but still FlashGet suits me the best. It works the way I wanted to. It is not too complicated but can be very advance download manager. That’s why I love FlashGet
