FreeRapid Downloader - The best download manager ever - free

thanks for that link, i'll try that out shortly.
one thing should should have mentioned too is that this app is open source (!), which is more important than that you do not have to pay for it. that way you can be sure that the app does not do strange things with your computer.
thanks again.

Sorry for not being informed that it was open source, but in the title I tell it is free.
