The Download Manager has been specifically designed to manage file downloads from supporting Microsoft Web sites in a secure and reliable way. Once started, the Download Manager displays an easy¬-to-use interface that shows the status of downloads and enables you to resume downloads if they have failed. The Microsoft Download Manager currently supports downloads from Web addresses starting with http://.

Ah, you took the words right out of my mouth,lol. I came back here to post specifically the same thing you did. Besides the error problems, it doesn't seem to integrate with IE. Time to rollback this crap off me PC.

Also the uninstall part of troubleshooting is useless. I used an uninstaller which in my opinion cleaned it up farily well. I re-installed, launched it and there's my last failed download attempt in the dialog.

I had the same problems too, seems the manager is not ready yet...

It probably works well for d/l ing from MS sites - you get something similar for d/l ing technet stuff.
