I’ve used FlashGet for a long time myself, but gradually left it. Development got wacky and stability questionable.

Now using Free Download Manager but lately rarely as well. Not much need for small stuff and large is mostly torrents nowadays.

It has a comment field that I use to paste info from the site I am downloading the .exe or whatever. In the options there is an option to create an individual .log file for each download. This log file holds the comment data and data regarding the download stats. So I am now in the habit of putting info into the comment field. When I am not sure what a "setup.exe" is I look in the log file for a comment(Description) P.S. the last version of Flashget sucks...keeps crashing...but I have not come accross another download manager that has this function.
