DLExpert

While this download manager does help speed up the process of grabbing files from the Internet, a lack of features and flexibility make DLExpert more amateur than expert. The process is simple: to start downloading, simply click the appropriate link in your browser (note: DLExpert only supports Internet Explorer) or copy the link into the program's Clipboard. We like that this freeware offers some basic automation options. Once the program has finished downloading, it can automatically log off and shut down. Also, DLExpert can sort downloads based on file type. That said, you can't schedule downloads, interrupt downloads midstream, or automatically log on to password-protected sites. If you want to give some punch to the download process, this freeware does what it's billed to do--just don't expect miracles from this basic program.
