Vista - Recommended free download managers for 64-bit Vista

What are the recommended free download managers that work in 64-bit Vista?

For IE?
For Firefox?

Firefox downloads work fine for me, what particular options do you seek?

On my Win 2000 desktop, I use FreeDownloadManger with botjhIE 6 and firefox
3(using FlashGot)

Have not yet tried Firfox 3's built-n download nabager.

news:%23Hj2dov2IHA.2564@xxxxxxBuilt-in Firefox 3 download manager is not at all satisfactory, if my
observations are correct.

Seems that one can pause and resume a download only in the current Firefox
session.
Close Firefox, or system crashes, or, ... and you are outta luck.

Also, do not have evidence that multiple streams are used for a single file.

If those observations are correct, then a real download manager is needed.

This one works. It's compiled for 32 bit, but works fine in 64 bit. It has a
lot of great features (resume, BitTorrent support, multiple download
streams, etc.)

Yes, I use FDM in Windows 2000.
Just seeking alternatives.

Hi Howard,

Supersonic Download Accelerator is another free good one to try.

I installed FreeDownloadManager yesterday.

Only issue was that it did not tell me that I had to reboot after the
install.
Otherwise, seemed to run well using IE 7
