Hi,
Using download managers is still allowed!
FDM must be an older app that is unable to export the sessions from the browser. You should consider trying a different util. :)
I can personally vouch for the DownThemAll! Firefox extension, as I use it myself.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/201
Some other download managers that could be worth checking out:
- Flashget ( http://www.flashget.com/ )
- Getright ( http://getright.com/ )
- Flashgot Firefox Extension ( http://flashgot.net )
The design is a matter of taste of course, but the new layout has some new features like clickable keywords, integrated archives, and a proper search function.
Best regards,
Endre

Thanks for the response Endre,
The use of the download manager isn't really the problem. The issue is with being able to schedule downloads. FDM still works fine to multithread download and resume from 1byday.
I (like many I suspect) are limited by our ISP's to certain download limits. My ISP lifts those limits between midnight and 8am. If I was always awake at these times there'd be no problem. I've used managers to schedule downloads to get around this issue.
The use of session timeouts and more importantly the web form requiring a physical presence at a PC breaks the scheduled downloads.
I've spent the day looking at various download managers and can find none that auto login to your site unless you have already used a browser to pass the web login form.
Please - if you've got any advice on how to get GetRight, DTA or any other manager working with sessions and web forms I (and I'm sure many others here) would love to hear. Until then I still believe form based login sites are to be avoided.

Great news that you're trying to fix it. That really would be a great example of web admins listening to their userbase - very impressed.
Don't suppose there's anyway of having the rolback server back until you'vegot a fix is there?!?!?
