OT Best Download Accelerator?

[UK_Widowmaker]

Hi All,

Downloading time on my Network here at basecamp is at a premium (Wife's Work VPN is hooked up to her company Router here...which I also use as my networks gateway..so sue me!..lol)

I have used DAP in the past, but heard rumblings about the additional adware associated with it, and in the course of my work as a PC Engineer, have had clients mention it too.

Anyone know of a cheap /free alternative they would recommend?

I use "Free Download Manager" available here...........
http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/
I've used it ever since I downloaded Phase 2, never had a problem.

second that CJ....used "free download manager" for ages now with absolutely no complaints or problems.

others have recommended getright in the past.....was certainly the program advocated by the Dev' team for P1 and P2

Getright's been sweet to me for sometime now. Very easy to manage.

But FDM is a completely free, fully functional version, not a trial of payware like Getright. I used FDM to download Phase 2 on dialup. It took a month. No problems.
