Yes NetTransport is very good. And free
But seriously, it can download some streaming content as well, and very FlashGet-like.
Huge advantages for me: it is able to connect to a proxy by NTLM authentication, and it can handle SOCKS4 and 5 proxies as well.
The site explorer is good too.
I switched to Linux, bye and thanks for all the fish!
Is it?! Two of the most popular download sites ( www.download.com and www.tucows.com ) don't actually have an entry of Net Transport! No wonder why I don't know it.
Anyway, I'm so impressed with ReGet that after the trial period ends I'm buying it unless till then someone convinces me for a better alternative here. Call me a capitalist if you like but money is not a problem. So, any tool will do (excluding tools mend to be for companies which usually comprise of 3-digit price tags).

BTW, is ReGet a Russian project? Russians rule in computing!
PS: It was Hacker's search for a new download manager but it seams I went for hunting!
"My only reason for still using M$ Window$ as an OS is the existence of Total Commander!" Christian Ghisler Rules!!!
I take my programs seriously so I usually try everything I can find before settling on one. I had to have tried at least 20 download managers before settling on ReGet Deluxe.
As for the origin of the program, PDavit, the company's web site provides this information:
Headquarters of ReGet Software are located in Delaware, USA.
The company also has a branch in St.-Petersburg, Russia.
OK, well, I found that only GetRight and ReGet Deluxe support multiple mirrors and automatic mirror searching.
The problem with GetRight is that its mirror manager acts weird - when adding a new mirror it seems to delete one of the already present mirrors. Also, when switching to the new mirror it switches to one I have defined before... (?)
In ReGet on the other hand I can't specify what mirror (from the available list) should each section be downloaded from, nor can I find out from what mirror I download at what speed. I also don't understand the speed values in the lower right hand corner of the main window.
Can anyone help?
TIA

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.
As for me, after having tried lots of d/m, I'm still sticked to FlashGet. Besides obvious and common features to all d/m. it integrates well with other browsers besides IE and has great other features, like Automatic renaming files based on description.

I use Download Studio (www.conceiva.com). It is commercial, but not only does it download files, it will download web sites, has ftp support and will also capture streaming audio/video.
