    I use Getright mostly... But only really for big files, I generally don't use managers unless I'm downloading something really big.

    I usually use Download Accelerator Plus with most of my downloads. But if the site I'm tying to download from has an anti-leech system (like EmuParadise), I use NetLeech.

    I used Lightning download. The trial is over, but you could still use it. (same with most download managers)

    I use Netants. It's pretty good, and it speeds up downloads. There are so many, you just have to try them

    I still have yet found one that actually speeds up my downloads, and I tried most of them. I aslo tweaked the options too.

    i think flash get is better because not can you only use it for downloading files, you can also use it to download an entire page of pictures from a web page.
    suppose you have 20 thumb nails, instead of right clicking every single one or dragging everyone, you right click and select download all with flashget. a menu will appear giving you what will be downloaded, select the ones your looking for and unselect that are not needed. then you place it in a folder of your choice and your done. all you have to do is wait for the download to finish to look at your pictures.

    i used to use getright but i don't use managers anymore. I think they're worthless. and i dont know wat you ppl r talking about wen u say getright isn't free. i used it for years without paying anything. just wait till the timer goes to zero and press ok.
