myself, I'm using IDM & FlashGet (+FlashGot) for years now nowadays, I added the Orbit Downloader for Youtube, an live streaming videos download but heck yeah, IDM is the fastest, I liked the new torrent and emule capability of flashget what i don't like about both, is there is no Windows Context Menu when you right click on certain downloaded file like for instance copy/move/delete (except Orbit Dowloader) the bottom line, like dexter, it seems to be that there is no BEST downloader, but there is favorable downlodaers
