"Doesn't work"
Version: FlashGet 1.9.6.1073
Pros
Nothing that I can think of
Cons
It doesn't work in Windows 7. I tried using it in Firefox and Avant browsers, but it doesn't download You Tube videos at all.
Summary
I'm not sure if it's just not compatible with Windows 7 or not, but it certainly did not work for me. I can't seem to find a download manager that DOES work. Orbit Downloader used to work about a year or so ago, but that doesn't work in XP or Windows 7. What gives?

"Great app for multiple high speed downloads."
Version: FlashGet 1.9.6.1073
Pros
High download speeds, simple GUI. Can resume download if u are disconnected, a common problem for those using IE download manager which asks u to download all over again if connection is reset!!
Cons
Recommended links/pages that appear on right side cause script errors. The links may also be rogue!

"I don't get it..."
Version: FlashGet 1.9.6.1073
Pros
single download manager for all browsers if you happen to use multiple browsers (which I do). Free!
Cons
This is totally pointless.
Summary
I never found the craziness of having a different download manger for each browser to be all that complicated. I don't find downloads to take so long that I need a third party program that could bring in unwanted traffic/malware into my system and might speed up downloads by what 5%. Waste of time for me. 3/5 because there's nothing wrong with it, I just don't see a necessity or the point for that matter.

"Nasty. Avoid."
Version: FlashGet 1.9.6.1073
Pros
The only thing I like about this product is knowing I will eventually have scrubbed every trace of it from my system, hopefully.
Cons
It didn't work out of the box. So I uninstalled it, or so I thought. Actually no; remains include a firewall exception, and even its own folder in program files!
A Forum search reveals special tools are available to scrape this filth off your system.Summary
Made me feel dirty, I now have a new disrespect for CNET Editors' ratings.
