Download Managers*
Some recommended download managers include:
| Operating System | Download Manager | Note |
| For All OSes | Firefox add-on: DownThemAll | This is probably the best/simplest plugin. |
| For Windows | FDM (Free Download Manager) and Stardownloader | |
| For Mac OS X / Safari | Speed Download | Retail price is about $25. |
Download managers provide an easy-to-use GUI for downloading multiple files in parallel, for monitoring download progress, and for pausing/restarting downloads. Most support uploads as well, and some such as 'Free Download Manager' even support bittorent downloads.
