Hi guys, I'm looking for a program like Getright (for Windows)... one with a GUI. Do you know of any?

Thanks!

Theres d4X (downloader for X) http://freshmeat.net/releases/99346/ (should be a link to it's homepage there) that's GUI and there a quite few others, but this is often the most talked about and used, or if you wanna go console theres always the trusty 'wget'

try nt or ProzGUI ( prozilla gui version).
Both of them are fast and stable, have quite a lot of functionality, can resume broken download, lookup for mirrors for parallel downloads etc

Yeh i'm currently using ProzGui too cause i personally haven't got D4X installed hehe (couldn't be bothered sorting out dependecies) but ProzGUi installed great and easy so your best bet is to try that first....

No worries...

I thought nt was D4X? Certainly when I install D4X the executable I have to run is called nt...

I am using prozgui as well but I am not quite happy for the following reason:
I am at the uni accomodation right now and I am using a wireless connection which is very unstable.
I noticed that when i download mp3s and i get disconnected, mp3s are not downloaded correctly. Sometimes I can hear "scratches" when i playback the mp3.
It does not happen when for example I download the same file using just the firefox browser...

wget is a nice simple console based one (and very old & mature), and can do lots more than just download pausing.

Or even gwget ...

There's also cURL.

I currently use the firefox plugin DownthemAll! and it works perfectly, it accelerates the download by splitting the file in 4 parts or more. A very well done program, excellent.

'Downloader for X' seems to be the best choice.

other popular download manager

Tucan Manager is is by far better than JD for sites like rapidshare, etc, etc, and it's 100% free/open.
