Using a DL connection, a DL manager is a necessity. You can lose your connection or turn off your computer and restart your DL right where it had stopped (no need to reset and start over). You can also program them to DL while your away or sleeping (go to bedwake up to your DL.cool). I use Internet Download Manager and it works perfect for me. Other DL managers should work just as well so search around to see what else is out there. One word of caution is to stay far away from the free DL managers, as they are loaded with ad/spy-ware and browser hijackers. SWAMP
