HTTP Download Manager

Craig321 · 10 Feb 2010 at 00:18

Are there actually any decent HTTP download managers out there? Maybe even something along the lines of sabnzbd+?

I've tried all the 'popular' ones now, but find most of the scheduling systems a bit rubbish. My downloads run from 1am to 9am, but most of the managers I've tried seem to struggle with that for some reason.

Any suggestions? I've tried FlashGet, Orbit, DAP, that Java based one (can't remember the name) etc.

Dunno if its what you are after, but i use DownThemAll! with Firefox. Works pretty well (although it freezes up when downloading something medium-high in size for a few seconds. Just for caching, annoying but not that bad).

Does Jdownloader do what you want?

There's no scheduling in that unfortunately.

Still on 512k here (line length FTL) so have to run downloads through the night.

Yep, almost perfectly, but it's "that Java based one" that for some reason doesn't work remotely.

That one's pretty good, however it failed a download saying it couldn't be resume last night, even though the file is still in exactly the same place on the server :/. Still, seems to be the best I've used so far.
