    Default Who knows of any good downloading programs?

    I have used Getright before on dialup and it did not lag my connection, but now it lags my connection badly even with a download limit. I would like to know about other programs that do not lag as badly as Getright does. Thanks.

    Before when I used flashget on somewhat better dialup, it still lagged, even with a speed limit. Any other suggestions? My connection is slow enough even without a download manager that lags.

    Internet Download Manager gave me the best speeds. up to 100 kbps on 750 kbps connection. you can get it from:
    www.internetdownloadmanager.com
    but it'll cost you money after 3 months or so,so I use mass downloader,which is fine:
    http://www.metaproducts.com/
    but it's only a shareware as well.

    Or, you could try netants, which I find to be the best. I tried Getright, Flashget, DAP, and got problems. I'm on broadband, but my internet used t disconnect.

    Anyways, to get it, visit www.netants.com .

    Actually I think IDM lies about its speeds, I think I watched a five minute download all the way through once and didn't see it go over 4kb/s, but IDM claims it went to 8.

    Netant is great no matter what your connection is, the only bad thing though, is that it has spyware /adware >.<

    IDM doesn't lie,but it depends if the site let's it to segament the download. I can get 90 kbps easily with it,but that's with 750 kbps connection,not with 56k ofcourse.
