That free DLM *demands* IE, so it is useless for me.


Sure, Free Download Manager supports IE - but it also works perfectly with Firefox (especially with the FlashGot extension), and I'm sure is happy with Netscape, Mozilla, Opera, or whatever else you want.

They did not say that; they only said IE, period.

You're right - they do say that on the web page. It seems a bit odd, given that they have explicit support for Opera, Netscape and Firefox in the program. The website is pretty skimpy on details of the program - it certainly doesn't make FDM look like a must-have utility. However, I've tried a few download managers over the years, and FDM is the best I've used. It does everything I need, integrates well with my browser, and although it is not open-source, it is free to use (i.e., not shareware or adware).
