Internet Download Managers
Oct 26th, 2008, 10:36am
 
Do you use one? which one, whats the best?
 
I downloaded Internet Download Manager (registered) and could only get it to download one file at a time, I couldn't get it to add 8 at a time, checked everything but found it impossible to add more than one, me being stupid, perhaps, I got the hump with it in the end and uninstalled it.
 
So what others are out there, tell us what you use.
thanks

Thanks mate, I'll have a look, yeah, rapid, was trying to download 8 rars (film) and I usually just copy links and download all, but it's slow (ish) so thought I'd have a go using a download manager.
I'll have a look at orbit.
cheers

10 meg, bastard! I pay BT for upto 8 but never make 2, on a good day I get 1.8 but it's usually around 1.5, and since uninstalling download manager it seems even slower, coincidence?
I'll download Orbit and see how it goes, did use flashget once but couldn't get on with that either, it's got to be me aint it, lol

Bollox, Orbit will only download one at a time as well, can't put in more than one at a time, even in the load batch, then it takes seconds to download and the file isn't known, fcuk it, I'll do it how I normally do it and give up with these poxy download managers,

You have to go into the settings m8, Limits, you can go 1 to 50, 3 or 2 is best.

yeah, did that, put the wild card asterix where it said, still couldn't get it to work on more than 1 at a time, no matter mate, uninstalled it,  
I'm happy doing it the way I always have, it's slower but at least I can download up to 8 at a time.
thanks for help
