download managers

[FS]

Say you've got a webpage with a series of links to movie files, ie:

movie1.mpg
movie2.mpg
movie3.mpg
movie4.mpg
movie5.mpg
etc.

And you want to download them all while not having to stay on your computer - just by clicking all of the links and having some program download the first link, then the next, and so on.

And you most definitely don't want to end up with Gator or other crap that comes with this download manager. What would be a good program to get?

'Windows'

I don't think Internet Explorer automatically picks up the next download if you're already downloading two things at the same time. :( edit: besides, you still have to be at your pc to name the files.

And while there is probably a way to change it so you can download more than two files at a time, I'd prefer to avoid the risk that a dozen movies are lost when IE crashes at 99% or something.

Its been a while that ive seen anything like it, but i remember a few download proggys "managers" from the past that had file "queue" capabilties (allowing for mutliple downloads, one after the other) just cant remember what they were, and i believe netscape had a built in function for it (another reason ie blows) go to download.com (cnets site) and look under internet utilities, they gotta have something there....

The market for download manager programs kinda fell out when file-sharing starting becoming popular for things other than music.

They were really only used to allow download resumes because no one had high-speed Internet. :(

Opera also has a built-in manager.
