If you regularly download files from internet you need a best download manager which can fasten downloading speeds and also give you option to resume the download so that you can download the files later in case of interruption in internet connection.

It is supposed to download complete Web sites. You give it an URL, and down it goes on, happily downloading every linked URL in that site.

Limited Ftp support, it will download the files but not recursively.

If you want to see why flashget is the best go and look here
Thanks for sharing this Fantastic list!
gonna try it by 1 by 1 🙂
free download manager is one of the super duper
don’t try any one if your time is precious.
nice post here. i use fdm and orbit they are ok.
but i will like to see speedbit download manager or is it not free.
I this Orbit Downloader is the best of the lost. Superb speeds and reliable too.
FlashGet seems to be a really highly used Download Manager.
its ok but what about Internet Download Manager i am using it. it is working very good.
Internet Download Manager is best download manager but its not freeware. Its paid software.
free download manager is one of the super duper
don’t try any one if your time is precious.
Among the paid versions, Internet Download Manger is the best. Next comes, the free one, Jdownloader. It has many options, can check the online availibility and can parse the download link automatically. However it uses much system resources and is slightly slow than IDM.
I really like like orbit downloader it is faster than others and it is social downloader
I had tried most of the download managers out there. So far Flashget and Orbit are the best ones for downloading files at amazing speeds. Both of them utilize maximum available bandwith provided by the ISP. FDM has been for a long time, it’s packed with lot of features and the user interface is little bit complicated for new users, but still good in downloading. JDownloader is good in downloading files from file sharing servers such as rapidshare, megaupload etc. In simple words, most of the paid download managers like IDM, DAP and others work like torrents. So, my advice would be to switch for a faster internet plan and use any download manager of your choice. Hope, you’ll find this useful.
Pretty good list of free download managers and i personally like Orbit Download Manager as it has almost all we need.
you forgot to mention IDM…………………..The fastest and BEST there is!!!!!!!!!!!:(
@ sai
IDM is not free.
ya its not free but you can use patch to make it free. really its fastest downloader.
I’m gonna give FlashGet a try. Let’s see! Anyways, thank you Mr. Simrandeep Singh!
flashget s really awesome!!!!!!!!!
Download manager works well in downloading applications and programs. I am using it since i bought my laptop and satisfied a lot with the patch downloads with nice speed.
There is nothing more frustrating than an interrupted download especially when its a heavy file and on 99.9% the download just freezes….Well i have been a big fan of IDM but am glad to know i have options.
Thanks for the tips, i love your blog.
I personally feel that Internet Download Manager is the Best one.
Internet Download Manager (IDM) is just awesome. i have given it 5 stars.
you can check it and get satisfied and kick off other downloaders.
Hi,
