I've tried..

DownThemAll - Hated it, caused my machine to crash/lockup all the time
SpeedDownload - This was okay, and i'd probably have put up with it if it was free, but it wasn't really feature rich enough to warrant my cash..
Flox - On paper it should've been perfect, but it just wouldn't segment downloads.

I used to use "Free Download Manager" on Windows and loved it, just something simple that would segment files is what I want, for the Mac.

Any suggestions?
 
Segmenting is useful when downloading from servers that have high bandwidth, but limit it per connection. At home I can download at 1.2mbps but a download site may limit that to 200kbps. Most download managers do support segmenting now, the file is split and each segment has a seperate connection.

If the file was segmented into 4, i'd essentially get 800kbps.
