Hello,
Sorry if this is a bit off-topic. I actually am asking for a musical reason, as I've just started looking into downloading concert bootlegs and other legal recordings that are available (though not directly) through
http://www.etree.org. The files are pretty big, either in shn or flac format (which I subsequently burn to CD for archive and convert to APE for tagging and playback.)
One of the things that I think would improve this process is getting a download manager. My requirements are fairly straightforward, however, I haven't found a download manager that I like yet.
It needs to be able to download from both HTTP and FTP hosts.
It needs to have resume capabilities.
I don't mind paying for the product if it really does perform better than free products.
If free, no-adds is best, add driven is fine if it isn't too invasive.
It should have a reasonably intelligent user interface and preferably, it should interface with MozillaFirebird.
I'd love to hear what software other people are using? Or what ones to stay away from.
Sorry for this being off topic.
