Download manager for F'fox

[Jim Scott]

What download manager with resume are you folks using at the moment with
F'fox?
Their plug-in page is a bit out of date and 'Star Downloader' has
stopped integrating every time for me.

I haven't had to use it, but the built-in download manager supports resume,
or at least pausing and resuming.

hi

get a ff extention "downloadwith" and then you can use whatever
downloadclient you want.

!! little problem with downloadwith extention through...it's not
packened for ff 1.0, just for 0.9 but at

http://www.extensionsmirror.nl/

you can install a repacked (but unsigned) version that do work with ff v1.0.

Ah! That was yesterday. V1.00RC is now out so it's back to the start all
over again. I don't know how much longer I can take this before I go
back to a IE shell.

Fresh Download works well for me - and the "Download With" extension.

Why not just keeping using what's working for a while? I've got FF 0.9.3
working AOK and I plan to get it for a while yet.

Not quite a download manager, but DownThemAll is a very helpful utility.

FlashGet, which has a plugin to integrate it into Firefox:

FDM works great with Firefox. It's easily configured to work with FF by
using the "Options->Monitoring" menu. There, it gives you the option to
specifically use FF. I've been using FF with FDM for almost a couple of
months and have had no problems. (I have Windows XP SP2 and IE 6.)

Strictly speaking FlashGet appears to be shareware. The shareware version
of FlashGet carries advertising and nags, but you can opt to remove these
by registration (which, as you say, costs $29.95).

AFAIK the shareware version has exactly the same functionality as the
registered version.
