    Doesn't Flashget have adware/spyware?

    Anyway, I've heard that the blandly titled Free Download Manager is the best of the best. (though, personally, I don't use any download managers)


    Edit: nevermind, I just found out FlashGet is now freeware.. I guess it's good then.

    I've been considering looking at some other download managers but I've used Flashget for a few years now and it has always worked pretty well for me. There shouldn't be any adware/spyware with the newer releases.
