Which download manager is better?

Hello all,

First time poster and PortableApps rocks!!!

I noticed that a new portable app was made available today called WinWGet. I have never seen or heard of this program before. I understand that this program is a download manager. Currently I use the Firefox extension called DownThemAll. My question is, which download manager is better? Would WinWGet be worth making the switch to or am I better off sticking with DownThemAll?

Thanks in advance for your input.

Try It

Like many types of apps, which download manager you like is a matter of personal preference. WinWGet is simple and independent so you don't have to have Firefox running. It's also small. And, since it's a portable app, you can try it out and, if you don't like it, just delete it. No muss, no fuss.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

I think Wget might be better

I have noticed one thing and that is,more the number of addons more slower is firefox.

not true

It depends on what type of add-on it is.

Like for example, I installed something call Mynci Web Recorder (forget exact name) a long time ago and it slowed down firefox soooooooooooooooo much. The reason was because it saved all the images of every website I visted onto my drive.

Where as something like adblock plus speeds up browsers since it prevents ads from playing/displaying.
