Download Manager for Mac OS X? [closed]

IS there a download manager for Mac OS X that allows me to interrupt and resume large downloads? (I'm trying to download the Apple Developer Tools update, but a 3+ GB file size seldom plays nicely with my internet connection.

EDIT:

I prefer a free solution if possible.

EDIT2:

I need it to be able to download from the Apple Developer site, which requires authentication. The downloads there are huge - my bandwidth isn't. Using Folx and authentication, I successfully downloaded ... drumroll please ... an intermediate HTML file.

I highly recommended using iGetter it was much better than other one.

• iGetter

But also you can use:

• Download Accelerator Plus (DAP)

• Folx (free) but can pay money and upgrade it to pro

• Speed Download (paid one) : nice one with a lot of features.

• Leech (paid one) : clean UI.

• Folx (free one) : download & torrents manager.

Besides, if you use Terminal and can install packages, I recommend AXEL. I myself use this one. After installation is complete you can use the command below to do what you want.

axel -n 100 -s 5242880 "your download link"

The -n 100 show the number of your connection to the server and the -s 5242880 use for limiting the speed,-s 5242880 in above example will try to keep the average speed around 5242880 (5120 Kilobyte per/sec).

Leech and Speed Download are well known, the former has 25 program launches without restriction as trial. Should be plenty for your use case.

Safari, OmniWeb, and iCab all have resumable downloads available in the Downloads window. Safari and OmniWeb are free, iCab is shareware.

You should check out iGetter once. Its not a freeware but it is good download manager.
