Peter,
I tried going to freedownloadmanager.com, but that site only says "coming
soon..."
I then searched for "Free Download Manager" on google, but this is a very
generic phrase used by numerous download accelerator programs. Here is a
review of one such program:
Free Download Accelerator 2.0
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
"Though this download manager is free, using it will cost you. Free Download
Accelerator does help speed up multiple-program downloads, but the program
design
and lack of features make it a middling choice among many other freeware
options. The program interface is plastered with banner ads and can't be
resized.
What's more, every time you start a download, a small dialog window pops
up--which we found annoying while testing multiple downloads. Unlike other
programs,
Free Download Accelerator doesn't work with your browser but requires you to
transfer file links to a Clipboard. Automation options are few; the only
feature
we found is that the program shuts itself down after completing its
scheduled downloads. Overall, this is only a basic program among many other
useful
freeware options in the market."
Is this the program you are recommending? If so, it doesn't sound very
desirable.

Free download manager works very well and as the name suggests, it's free.
