jollyrancher said:I've used GetRight 3.2 for a long time and I would definately reccomend it. It's easy to use and is one of my favorite utilities. Get version 3.2 because the newer versions are actually worse and they will expire unless you register them. The only thing 3.2 can't do is simultaneous downloading of the same file from different sources, but that's not important to me. If you want to try others, Flashget and Download Accelerator are also two of the better ones. Some of the download utilities come with spyware (GetRight 3.2 doesn't), so be careful.

Anyone the last version (5.?) is very good, and if you can stand the reg messages, it could be worth a try.
It doesn't time out, and nowhere on the web site do they claim it times out.

What registering will get you:
# A registration code emailed to you.
# Your code will remove the reminder windows.
# You will also gain access to the registered-only features (such as more items in the Daily Downloads, higher Download List limit, etc.)
# A warm fuzzy feeling that you did the right thing. Without your support, we can't keep adding new features to GetRight, can't have support people to help you if you have problems, etc.
# BONUS: For the foreseeable future, all upgrades to GetRight will be FREE to registered users. (NOT like some other programs that are charging a yearly fee--without even any guarantees a new version will come out!)
