iGetter [free version] for a few thing was extremely fast - I'm talking about 1200 kps! Seriously.
BUT when I placed an online order for and upgrade to Peak Pro 5 and got to the download page, there were big problems. iGetter showed it was trying to download, but Status just showed "waiting" and so after a few attempts I quit iGetter, having turned off Auto first. But then, firefox 2.003 kept opening iGetter and transferring the attempted download to it. Even when I moved iGetter to the trash [ without emptying it] Firefox or my Mac still opened it to try to download with it! I finally uninstalled iGetter, using the uninstaller that they provide. Only then could I download my newly paid for software.
My conclusion is that iGetter has a lot of potential but some big bugs. Maybe I'll try the Speed Download shareware once I lose my fear from being burnt once.

Use FlashGot extension - presenta
iGetter integration with browsers option is turned off by default, but you can always switch on/off the integration with Internet browsers (Safari, Firefox, Camino, etc.) using the iGetter "Integrate with Internet browsers" Tools menu option.If you mainly use Firefox you can just install the FlashGot extension and then turn off iGetter integration with browsers. FlashGot adds an option on the Firefox "Save As" dialog to download the file with iGetter.
