Default Best download manager

I'm tired of having multiple windows opened when downloading multiple files, I need a download manager, anyone have recommendations? And don't mention any addons for FF, I don't use it

I've always used Flashget, easy to use, and it has a plugin for Firefox as well.

Don't need any addons with FireFox. It has a perfectly simple and fine download manager built right in.

It's time to make your browser growup. www.getfirefox.com

Why have yet more programs running to imitate FireFox when you can just run FireFox and be done with IE?

1.0.7 is pretty nice

1.5 had\has a few memory leaks

2.0alpha1 seems to be the most stable right now.
