I use Star Downloader which is very good. Lloyd In a message dated 5/13/2009 6:15:29 P.M.

I hope someone can point me toward a good download manager (a FREE one) I have been told that can make a download faster and if you lose the connection it will pick up where it left off instead of starting at the beginning again.
