Re: Download Manager

FTP and HTTP aren't file types, they're download protocols. MSS, on the
other hand, is a file type but there are dozens of files that use it.
Maybe if you were to explain what you're trying to do we could be more
specific.

Re: Download Manager

Those are streaming files, not downloadable files. You won't be able to
download them with any tool whatsoever.

Re: Download Manager

FlashGet downloaded the file at the link that the OP provided, or rather
part of it until I cancelled the d/l. I tried it out before posting the
recommendation.
