    Hey guys,

    A few days ago I posted on here asking about a free download manager, and have since then decided to use FDM for now. I was just wondering if there was a way to use FDM to download files found on P2P programs such as eMule and limewire or kazaa. Is there a way to bypass the download interface of the program and make all downloads default download in FDM? And also with browsers, I use firefox and it doesn't seem as though I can.

    As far as I know you can't. Most of the P2P have it where you are required to use their program for downloads.

    P2Ps download system works pretty good with multiple downloads, at least the ones I have seen.

    You can't, because for p2p, it is downloading directly from other peoples' computers, and as zazonz said, they have mutiple download functions, eg, downloading from mutiple computers.
