well.. i think download managers are great. You should get one. I have one. But there are sites that don't let you use a download manager. So my solution is to not use download managers on those sites. lol:)

Use a Download Manager to resume download (when it's available) and it can save you a lot of time. Usually DM will try to establish multiple connections to maximize the download speed by using all the bandwidth availble of the server. Some server really doesn't like multiple connection because if your DM makes 4 connections, it's like there are 4 people who are downloading. Usually you'll see some website that advise to turn off your DM, because they don't want you to "hammer" their server. You can always set your DM to download only with one connection.

I use Download Accelerator Plus for 4 years, I guess it just becomes a part of me. I've heard that GetRight, FlashGet and Netpumper are all very capable DM, but I haven't try them yet. It's so rare that I dl nowdays with DM, it's always P2P... Be careful with spyware when you download DM, maybe try to get some pro or retail version from p2p.
