Yeah, I have been using that for a few years now, but it seemed a little slow when I was trying to get large amounts of data off my seedbox. So far, free download manager seems to download much faster. From what I remember reading it breaks the files apart into separate pieces and then downloads the pieces simultaneously rather than downloading in a linear fashion. I had used free download manager before (the desktop version), and it was faster, but adding links to it one at a time was cumbersome, so I stuck with DTA. With the Firefox FDM addon, though, I can load a whole page of links, just like you can with DTA.
