right on dude....massdownloader roxxx featurewise...the one feature which i found most appealing in MD was the zip preview...metaproucts have even made an extension to integrate MD and DE with firefox....the only downside is the 30 day trial limit....

Eg . Suppose i select a 100MB file to be downloaded and once i start downloading the file immediately, 100MB is occupied from my HDD space.
This should not happen.
well...even massdownloader creates an dummy file with extension .mass with the size of the download...i think thats why i get less files corrupted with it....dap too creates many files with extension .tmp...i guess they get filled in gradually as the download completes....

but i will recommend MD anytime....its loads better than dap....
