Download Manager for Mac OS X

Question

What is a good Download Manager for Mac?
Are there free ones available?

Answer 1

There are several choices :

• Speed Download (paid one) : nice one with a lot of features.

• Leech (paid one) : clean UI.

• Folx (free one) : download & torrents manager.

Answer 2

I highly recommended you use iGetter it was better than other one.

• iGetter

but also can use

• Download Accelerator Plus (DAP)
• Folx (free) but can pay money and upgrade it to pro

Also if you can use terminal and install package I recommended you use AXEL I myself use this one. after install it you can use this like below in terminal

axel -n 100 -s 5242880 "your download link"

the -n 100 show the number of your connection to the server

and the -s 5242880 use for limiting the speed,-s 5242880 in above example will try to keep the average speed around 5242880 (5120 Kilobyte per/sec).

Answer 3

I use JDownloader a lot. It is extremely useful if you're downloading content from the cloud (to name the popular one: Rapidshare, Hotfile, Megaupload).

And it's free.

Answer 4

As much as this saddens me but I would also recommend jDownloader. On the other hand for some simple and not so simple cases you could opt for wget or curl. You could be evan braver and create a batch script using one of those UNIX commands and be done with it.

Answer 5

Let's not forget DownThemAll for Firefox. Yes, it's a plug-in for Firefox, but since Firefox also runs on the Mac, this makes it a valid answer. It's free too.
