What's a good free download manager for os x?

Topic. One that can help you resume whenever you need it.

Thanks!

Do you know you can resume downloads with Safari?

 

[frankblundt]

Safari does that already, doesn't it?

[too slow..

or do you mean one that you can resume when the connection craps out? Safari does get confused by that sometimes

DownThemAll is a great extension for Firefox.

You can organise multiple downloads from one page in a couple of clicks. and resume as needed

I've always liked this one. Safari may have some sort of resuming feature but in my case its never worked properly. Thankfully I have a fast enough connection to where its seldom needed.

that is exactly it.

i was downloading a 170 mb file and the electricity shuts off (i have a back up, BUT IT'S NOT WORKING PROPERLY... odd)

anyways i boot the pc back up and there's no option for me to resume the download as the download window shows no downloads in progress

I prefer iGetter, it's really easy and really fast!

But you can use it as a trial, there's no expiry date.

Does iGetter allow you to list a number of URLs with minor variables and then download the given URLs?
