P2P + download manager = it is indispensable

Pros: It downloads everything from the Web: it supports HTTP, FTP and Bittorrent downloads. It is like to have "OrbitDownloader + uTorrent" in a single application! There is an optional add-on to connect to the "EDonkey net" even. It auto-resumes interrupted downloads (when there is a black-out or when the telephone line breaks off). It integrates very well into Internet Explorer and Firefox (without using "Flashgot" extension). You can download from the Web

Flash videos also.

Features summary: DHT; NAT/Firewall configuration; UPnP port mapping; protection against ARP cheating attacks from LAN; NAT Trasversal via UDP; protocol encryption; hard disk protection via automatic disk cache.

Memory consumption: it requires max 32 MB when it downloads 2 torrents.

Cons: There is a bit of advertisement. But it is not annoying.

The Open-Source Download Manager (HTTP-FTP-Bittorrent)

Pros: It downloads EVERYTHING from the Web: it supports "http, ftp and bittorrent" downloads. It is open-source. It requires a small amount of ram memory to work. It is like to have "OrbitDownloader + uTorrent" in a single application!

Cons: There is a small "bug". When a Bittorrent download ends, FDM starts automatically the seeding task: it is impossible to stop the seeding task via the standard STOP button, when the seeding goal is achieved. The only way to stop the seeding task is deleting it.
