i've been using firefox for sometime now....

but i wud like to shift to opera..


so i wanna if there's an addon like flashgot for opera which integrates the download manager with the browser

so that i can simply right click on any link on the page... and download it using "free download manager"

opera has built in download manager, no need to install separate plugin

Yes. And also an inbuilt torrent client. The only browser to have it. But the d/l manger doesn't fully utilize the bandwidth on offer.

Well, AFAIK, Opera doesn't have a Flashgot equivalent. In fact Opera isn't very popular when it comes to plugins since most of those addon functionalities are already built-in.

i shifted to "IDM" INTERNET DOWNLOAD MANAGER"

it supports all the browsers.. the integration works really well... and the speed has also improved.... [ b4 i used to get 120 - 140 kBps on rapidshare now its 210 - 230 ] ...

IDM is the best downlaod manager i've used....
