> that enable you to resume downloading
Doesn't pure Firefox/SeaMonkey allow You to (manually) resume download ? i have
no big experience in those, but it seems to me it can!
> If you use the Firefox web browser
I would like to see there the same paragraph about Opera browser.
In Russia it shares the 1nd place after IE with Mozilla FF and SM (different
stats gives 2nd place to M or to O - but numbers do differ little).
I think that in the rest of the world it is quite the same.
I can say nothing about Konqueror/Safari, but perhaps someone using them would
add about them too.
So, i'd put this like following:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are several download managers that enable you to resume downloading after
an interruption which is useful on unreliable connections.
* If you use the {link:www.mozilla.org "Firefox or SeaMonkey"} web browser, you
will want to install the {link:http://flashgot.net/ "FlashGot"} extension which
integrates these download managers with Firefox.
* If you use the {link:www.opera.com "Opera"} web browser, it already has some
resuming capability built-in. However if You want yet more comfort in
downloading (automatic resuming, file integrity checks, number of downloads in
a queue) You may want to install one of the downloaders and integrate them with
Opera using {link:http://my.opera.com/Lex1/blog/index.dml/tag/oGet "oGet"} add-
on. Or You may want download OpenOffice from {link:http://
distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/ "BitTorrent links"}, that Opera supports.
Wikipedia has a comprehensive comparison of download managers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don't know if the browser add-ons are proper content for the page about
download URLs, but if Mozilla+FlashGot is ok, then it is the same about
Opera+oGet

I would like to add one more download manager for Windows.
I think it's worth it and convince you, basing of my own experience. If it is
just time-eater for You, skip next 2 paragraphs.
For quite a long time (years)i used ReGet - 1st its ad-ware version, then Ad-
Ware became unavailable, and i managed t use regular version in eternal-trial
way (you may blame me and would be right). And to me other Windows DM's were
worse, though sometimes i tried them.
Year ago i started to seriously look for free alternative to ReGet. (purchasing
full version was not an option to me, ReGet development seems to almost freeze
couple of years ago and it would no more be DM of choice anyway).
I tried wGet, MultiGet, mGet, Orbit... Orbit was the best, but even it was
buggy comparing to Reget (had fancy features about mukltimedia, yet lacked
basic features about downloading itself). However for about half-year i used
Orbit as best free DM i could find.
Then stumbled upon FreeDownloadManager. Personally i dislike such a generic
names, i feel them as inhumble trick to play "Smith. Main entrance" trick over
competitors. But one day i decided to give it a try despite of its name.
Month later i deinstalled all other download managers, including ReGet and
Orbit. Personally i think FDM is a must in any short-list of Windows download
manaegers.
So i vot to add this line to list of download managers at bottom of the page:
* {link:www.FreeDownloadManager.org "Free Download Manager"} (Windows, open
source, checksum verification, BitTorrent / Metalink support, malware database)
Thanks to nayone, bothered to read all this through.
