I'm looking at FlashGet (mentioned by sprite in another thread) and Orbit.
Does anyone have any further recommendations or comments on the two I've mentioned?

I'm going to have a look again at FDM which I used to use years ago.

I like JDownloader though, particularly for it's advanced scheduling functions. Flashget has start/stop once a day, but JDownloader allows starting, stopping, setting bandwidth caps as many times a day as needed.

Having also now looked at FDM I think I will perceveer with JD and hope that many of the current issues get sorted soon. It certainly is the most flexible of the downloaders I've looked at over the years.

Flashget also allows you to manage your bandwdith and while I admit the scheduling is a bit out of date its other features have made be stand by it for years on end. It's a very convenient bit of software although I still use the older versions. I'm currently using v1.73 as the newer ones were released by a foreign company and the standards seemed to slip. Browser plugins etc got a bit screwed up.
Flashget is good in many ways because not only can you see the http headers, it will monitor the speeds in realtime, average time, calculate time remaining, search for mirrors of the file etc. The only downside to FG is that you can't run it as a portable app on a usb drive.
