    I used to use one of these in the late 90s. I think it was called Filezilla (Downzilla? I forget; something zilla anyhow) or something, and it made dinosaur sounds when queuing up downloads.

      Holy shit I totally forgot about this!

      Used to make me so happy hitting 9 kbps download speed 🥹

      Adding to the queue was the absolute best and the aesthetic was definitely late 90s early 2000s it was awesome!

        Bro, another killing feature of DMs (which is still a killing feature nowadays) is the ability to pause and continue downloads

          Yes! Preaching to the choir here, but just in case someone finds this useful: JDownloader is your one stop shop for any DDLs you might have. Take a few minutes to look it over. It’s great.

      Free Download Manager was pretty rad. Being able to resume the download later was a life saver for dial-up connections. I remember that it took me almost a week to download Gunbound.
