Some time ago there were favourable comments on the list regarding Metaproducts Download express. As a result I tried it for a short time and was quite impressed - in fact I was considering paying for it. However (perhaps unwisely as it now appears) I decided to uninstall it whilst I tried a few alternatives. As none of the latter seemed to suit me as well as DE, I decided to re-install Download Express. But now it obstinately refuses to download even a single file - the progress indicator remains at 0%! Initially I thought that a firewall was blocking it or perhaps Spysweeper did not like one of its components, but I have eliminated these possiblities. The only explanation I can think of is that the initial installation left something behind to prevent anyone trying to use the 30 day free trial repeatedly, but if anyone has any other ideas I would be very plesed to hear them. Also I would welcome any suggestions of alternative download managers which are reasonably screen reader friendly and do not contain spyware, as many appear to do. As I am one of those odd people who are still on a dial up connection, the lack of a download manager is a serious handicap!
