never had a problem with multiple downloads in ff. Had 10 running yesterday simultaneously. Are you sure it's not a server-side thing? A lot of major download sites will only let you pull down 2 files at one (3dbuzz, badct, fileplanet etc...)

basically if there is a movie file or any link to large download from a website, right click the link to the file and click 'Flashgot link'

Flashget starts up and it begins downloading. I dont use it a lot cos i rarely download off the web, but when i do use it, it works fine.

I downloaded db 2.3 that way, I even stopped and resumed it a few times. So I've had no problems with it.

The only drawback is the advertising banner on the application. My keygen only lasts a couple of weeks, but nothing is disabled in the un-reg version.

cor: why use a download accelerator with downloadspeeds of 300kb/sec? i used DAP when i had 56k and didnt like it very much, but i see no reason to use it now.
