TRUSTED Download Manager discussion
justice:
So there's all the recent discussions about whether or not there is hidden spyware /adware in certain download managers. Which ones can we trust? I also heard people talking about similar issues in the past, but was unable to find any info.
As donationcoder.com does not seem to have a download manager (yet?) that we know we can trust, what download managers can you recommend? What are the essential features?
Also, would it be safer to use a DM that has never had ads? Or is open-source? or is paid and properly supported? A lot of questions and I don't have any answers. Please help :-[
Wordzilla:
Free Download Manager and Internet Download Manager (shareware)
lanux128:
yes, i'd go for Free Download Manager.
Grorgy:
If you use firefox you may want to consider a firefox extension Down them All, which seems to do a pretty good job, simple, nothing fancy, just depends on your needs really.

speaking of Firefox, there's the FlashGot extension that automatically detects and integrates the available download manager on the system.. here is the list of download managers that it supports.. :)
