They work fine, depends on how intelligent the download manager is - if it just blindly grabs .zip links without following them to check if they lead to further html pages then it will fail... It has to not kick in until you've selected a mirror. FlashGet works fine.

Anonymoose is correct. Flashget is the most reliable DM I've used in a long time.
Works great on Sourceforge.

We use GetRight with soirceforge with no problems. GetRight is very smart when it comes to resolving redirections (which is the problem with sourceforge).

hmmm i was using star downloader which is free to use for version 1.42.,

but unfortunately version 1.5 u have to buy.

so much for free lunch.


this downloader worked for a while with sourceforge , but things change i guess even leechget 2002 has probs with sourceforge too.

leechget 2002 was freee til it went shareware!

oh well such is life.
