Welcome

first of all, hello, and welcome to PortableApps.com

Second of all, can I point out to you that there is a very effective search box on every page.

If you search for "Free Download Manager" you'll find that it has been suggested before, and even got into beta, but there are critical show-stopping problems with the app itself. Specifically, when you run it, it automatically looks on the system drive for installed Firefox and attempts to install itself into that Firefox instance, thus effectively damaging the host PC's browser when you come to remove the flashdrive.

This is totally against the ethos of PortableApps.com, and thus, unless and until the FDM developers fix what is basically broken behaviour (do you really want apps making arbitrary and unnecessary changes to your computer without your permission, consent, or ability to control?), I'm afraid that FDM isn't going to happen as a portable application here.
