/*----------Download manager , open source, written in C#-----*/
http://www.pconsulting.com.au/unrealdownload/

UnrealDownload is a free, open source download manager utilising the Microsoft .NET Framework. If you don't know what that is, I'd suggest you follow the link and do some reading before continuing. If you're not a programmer and are looking for a fully featured download manager then I recommend you go and check out GetRight, Go!Zilla or FlashGet for the time being and come back later when this application has developed a little further and .NET is out of beta.
