Version: FlashGet 1.8.6
Pros: Downloads are so fast, I think they didn't happen until I check and see that they have. In fact, downloads are so fast, I haven't had a chance to test claim of multiple downloads at the same time.

Version: FlashGet 1.8.6
"Good but annoying (Tested on Vista Premium)"
Pros: + Good looking
+ Really complete
+ Easy settings
Cons: - Got crazy and went up to 500mb (more at times) whenever I downloaded Torrents. Went way far even on ordinary downloads.
For XP it's probably really good, but don't bother if you run Vista. I couldn't even surf while using it, and I got 2mb of ram.
