Personally I've always used Flashget, however if you use Firefox then DownThemAll is pretty good

I use Flashget, although I did used to use Getright, and it was pretty good too.
I've never come across DownThemAll before so cheers for that Nismo

What did you think it did?

Just had a look at FDM, might give that a go.

FDM is pretty good for downloads but I did find it a little intrusive. There were times when I just didn't want it to try to download things but couldn't find an option to turn it off. Even if you start windows with it turned off, as soon as you go to download something up it pops and then stays in your system tray with it's 2nd see-though icon floating mindlessly on your desktop. If you then start a game this see-through icon will appear on your game's screen unless you remember to shut it down 1st. Almost as annoying as the animated paperclip in Word
