Well download statusbar is not what I would call a download manager but as an adjunct to the ff downloader it is utterly invaluable and makes info on the download and then managing the completed download a dream (so thatś a vote for dl statusbar and the ff downloader)! (Google Chrome obviously liked it too)
And when I’m on windows and having a heavy download session – especially if it involves flash videos – then FDM is pretty good – for in-between use I quite like Down Them All.
Er – seems I use all of those and would vote for all! (oh poor old FlashGet, i´d try you too but the other three are excellent.
In Linux (Human) the FF add-ons are fine but I’m giving Downloader for X (D4X) a spin, full featured but wont look after Flash Video locations.

Saddened to see no love for Speed Download on Mac OSX – One of the best download managers I’ve seen.

I like FlashGet with a “FlashGot” extension installed in Firefox. This allows for automatic loading of a download in FlashGet.

I used to love Free Download Manager but then discovered it was the cause of explorer.exe frequently crashing on my computer :-( I’m not sure why…
