First of all, let me remark that FlashGet (the well known download manager) is NOT FlashGot, the integration bridge which makes Firefox talk with the best download managers (dozens, including FlashGet). FlashGet the download manager and GetRight, another popular one, used to be adware, something that is sometimes associated with spyware. Recent versions of both these products are reported to be clear, e.g. they got the 100% Free Softpedia Certification.
