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. Just

google free download manager but I think it's just freedownloadmanager.com.
