Yep, But David was right to get rid of it, When downloading a large file (650+MB) it would start to move extremely slow and almost freeze and after the download was done, Both of my cores would peg at 100% until i did a reboot. So it's gone and I'm trying FDM now.
Handling big files is another must have feature... I won't even test Download Express then...
Maybe someone could convince me to test Orbit ;D

Well I find it works fine, though on dial-up I don't ever download really large files ;D 20-25MB might be the largest I would try. Bigger than that I ask a friend with broadband to download it for me ;D

Hi! I use Download Master - it's made by the same company as Internet Download Accelerator (WestByte) but it's absolutelly free for the users from former USSR :)
