Hi -- One that I do not recommend is "freedownload", wherever that comes from. I think I got it from nextup. But there is no problem with the download manager itself, it's just that it introduces some serious incompatibilities with some sites I visit, such as for-the-people.com. I cannot connect to that site when I have that download manager installed. I don't know what happens exactly, but I sometimes have to reboot to get things back to normal. And uninstalling freedownload fixes the problem. I know that for-the-people uses ActiveX heavily and I actually wish they would change that as it is insecure, but in any case if you install freedownload as your default download manager, forget about using for-the-people. Thought I'd mention it. Take care. --le ----- Original Message ----- From: "Douglas Harrison" <harrisondf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <guispeak@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, June 11, 2005 4:53 AM Subject: [guispeak] Re: the download managers Bharat, A very basic download manager free from Spyware etc. is Winget.
