Hi,
I'm happy with the firefox and it's downloading features (pause&resume). Never downloaded something huge (I mean in GBs). At the most I've downloaded only Linux distributions. They never took more than an hour for about 700MB of data.
Thanks and regards,
Pothi.

Again, after trying many Download Manager/Accelerator, now I am back to using Orbit Downloader. It's the best.

I use stardownloader. to link with FF3, after installing stardownloader, the "flashgot" add-on is requred to be installed in FF3. It automatically detects the download manager.

The Flashgot Add-on is also useful for integrating FF3 with DAP, IDA, IDM, Free Download Manager, Flashget, Orbit and a lot of others. Just install the download manager first. Then in FF3 install the Flashgot add-on. It should detect the download manager automatically. Then on right-click "Flashgot Link" option would be available. Selecting this would launch the Download Manager for the link.

I use IDM for all general purposes.
For Mass-Downloading of web pages, Offline Explorer and teleport pro are the best.

ya its very good for rapidshare downloads and the best feature of idm i think is its scheduler

it is also very useful for extracting one type of files from a particular websites - lige pdf, mp3

it also helps in capturing entire sites
