Download managers

[Homer]

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a good download manager for IE. I tried GetRight,
but it's bloatware in my opinion. I'm looking for something simple like
the download manager in Firefox.

Thanks

why bother with ie then if you have the one and only
browser that you will ever need.

Hi Homer,

Until Longhorn (eventually) makes it to the real world, which when I last
checked had a download manager for IE, I'd recommend that you use Opera or
Firefox for your downloading rather than sourcing a third party download
manager. My concern is that you avoid malware/spyware/adware that
sometimes comes with freeware or shareware products.

I use IE to manage downloads in IE.

Thank you, Silj. That was exactly what I was looking for. I tried
Leechget, and it works great.
