Thanks to Edskes over at Betas Intercom.net for the heads up!

After getting burned one too many times with FlashGet and reading rave reviews of GetRight 5x I'm likely making the switch. I love FlashGet's UI and speed, but I've been getting more and more corrupted downloads (that don't clue you in until after you install them and notice program errors). That seems to be a common issue for FlashGet users, so I think I'm hanging it up and hoping GetRight 5x is all people claim it is. |

I 've been using GetRight for a while now, it is generally an excellent download manager with all the features you could ever need. I've done gigs of download with it and only recelntly had one corrupted download (but I was downloading from 3 split sources at once). However there are a few little problems, 1. Doesn't handle downloads that are linked to via other web pages (PHP) very well in most cases. 2. The FileMirrors site that it uses to find mirrors seems very slow in getting updated with the latest releases, can take a week before mirrors show up for a recently released demos. 3. Doesn't work with FireFox PR 1.0/.10 whatever (Yet, until they update the DownloadWith extension). |

Well after re-downloading it I sadly still don't care for the interface. It just doesn't look or feel right, and I despise the system tray 
Anyone have any other recommendations? Again, FlashGet has given me corrupted files) without warning me of it) and I'm looking for something similar, but more consistent. |

It's very easy to update the DownloadWith extension yourself to get it to install in FireFox 1.0PR. Just open the .xpi file in winzip and edit the following line in install.rdf file: <em:maxVersion>0.9+</em:maxVersion> and change it to <em:maxVersion>0.10+</em:maxVersion> Add the install.rdf back into the .xpi file and then drag the xpi file into Firefox and install it |
