have been using internet download manager (IDM) and reget in the past, any others i should try? It seems that idm isnt 100% happy in vista at times (scheduled downloads etc)

what does everyone else use? looking for an accelerator/scheduler

I use Free Download Manager.
Seems to do the trick.

I used to use Free Download Manager but this week I tried the DownloadThemAll extension for Firefox and I really quite like it. It runs from within Firefox and works a dream for me.

Course if you don't use Firefox then this is useless advice from me.

I use Mass Downloader, mainly because I bought it 6 year ago and the registration key still works, even with the latest version.

I've used quite a few and imo Internet Download manager is easily the best. it's not free though!

Reget is probably up there with the best of them, but not free. I like its ie spy feature , makes it possible to download stuff you normaly get locked out of such as flash anims/streams.

FreeDownloadManager is definatly the best of all the free ones though.
