    I was looking for some IDM which downloads files from Rapidshare. I tried the one which is provided from rapidshare but it kind a sucks so is there any other best IDM which downloads lists(Even DAP cannot download lists from rapidshare :( )

    Thanks

    I just use any built-in browser IDM. They would do the job fine.

    cheers ...

    firefox has an addon download manager, maybe that works and you like it.

    else, just download without a manager. that at least works all the time.

    I have found "Internet Download Manager" to be the very best. I've tried them all and IMO, nothing comes close.

    I wanted to keep like a list of files to download so that I can sleep rather than wait to download files simultaneously.So, any IDM?

    Same, I use IDM and definitely notice considerable download speed improvements.

    Yes, "Internet Download Manager" has a good download scheduler as well.
