I am looking for a free app for OS X that will allow me to pause and resume downloads, because I am sick of downloading 30+ meg update files only to have my connection lost after 20mb get completed. It pisses me off to no end. Any solutions?

All I know of are Speed Download and iGetter, which can be found at www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com.

Both of those are shareware, but I'd be interested in a freeware one, if anyone knows of such a thing.

I use the 1.5 public beta version of Download Wizard.

It is available to use for free -- there are also advanced features (including browser integration) available for purchase.

Thanks for the heads up, exactly what I was looking for.
