    Firefox Download Managers?

    When dealing with really large file i use a 3rd party downloader called Free Download Manager.

    Works with Seamonkey IE and Firefox for sure and you can even use it to download of places like D2D were a password or such is involved.

    Another vote for Free Download Manager (FDM)

    I've been using it for several years and could not do without it now.

    Internet Downloads

    Thanks all for the useful suggestions, i certainly can understand the idea of refreshing downloads. I wish Firefox had that little button lol. Now i'll try and download Warrock (a great FREE game) with download manager though (annoyingly) firefox is now downloading without buggering up!
    I just did a few spyware scans which though didn't stop the probs it probably did stop all thoses bloody programs from using the internet and slowing it down.
