Hey, i'm looking for a good, non- (or not annoyingly) advertising one that gets the job done, aka: speed. resuming. That's most important to me... i used to use getright but i hate it... i was thinking about going back to gozilla... anyway, what do you all reccomend?

KaZaA Lite works wonderfully, and gets rid of the spyware/popups that plain KaZaA has.

FileZilla (http://filezilla.sourceforge.net) is the best FTP client for Windows, period... I GUESS you could call that a DL proggie ;)

I've been using Download Express for a long time. It's fast, no ads, resumes, works great with no problems, completly free.

No ads, no spyware, I've tried others, I like this (Download Express) the best. DAP has ads

Oops, haha....stupid me; but hey it was fairly late and I hadn't gotten much sleep.

I've used DAP, and from what I remember there weren't any ads.

I've used many download agents, but I've always come back to DAP. It's easy to use and has not once messed up a download for me. It does have ads, but those are easily removed. ;)

To get rid of the ads in DAP, you just have to delete the Ads folder as far as I remember... or was it the contents of the Ads folder...

"We would like to clearly state that Download Accelerator Plus (DAP) is not a spyware product and does not contain any spyware," Eyal Barzilay,
SpeedBit Ltd.'s Director of Business Development, says.

Speedbit is the creator of the popular download accelerator that they boast increases download speeds by up to 300 percent.

However, when the free DAP is downloaded, additional technology files are placed on the computers hard drive and records where a user goes on the web."

lol, thats why I recommend Star Downloader. It is supposed to be spyware free, fast and easy to use. Oh yeah and it doesn't cost a thing.;) :D

When I run Ad Aware after installing DAP (and removing the ad support) the program doesn't report any spyware present on my system. And I trust Lavasoft that this is true. :)

I tried Lightning Download a bit back.

It advertises...itself (30 day trial)

I like it so much I paid for it.

I use flashget currently. Although i'll give DAP another shot as it was my first real download manager. Getright never really used mirrors to speed up the downloads
