    Best "resume download" software??

    Hey all,

    I'm looking to download a very large demo tonight, over 130MBs. Since I'm on a crappy 56k, the chances of me getting the whole file in one sitting are..well...nill.

    Does anyone know of any downloadable, free software that lets you stop and resume your downloads? I used to have a few on my HDD, but I have not used them in so long, and totally forget which one was good.
    Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!

    Before I got cable, GetRight was a must for downloading. Great program.
