Yes. It seems pretty basic the big downside is that it can only manage downloads from http sites.

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.

Could not get to run under Firefox. Suspect that an add-on is needed or I need to disable present download manager.

Is running at this very moment under IE 8. IE 8 did ask me to install an Active-X add-on.

Does work only with MS sites.

Oh yes, am currently downloading from TechNet subscription download site.

The real test will be if the downloader successfully resumes. Nothing is more frustrating than getting >90% thru a long download and then losing connection and download not resuming.

Will get back with IE 8 result and will purposely disrupt connection.

Also have an Asus ha1002xp netbook with Win 7 Ultimate installed.
Update: Even IE8 interface is a kluge.
I disconnected from the internet.
Closed the download manager.
reconnected to internet and started the download manager.
No display showing any downloads in any state.
Restarted IE8
Reselected the file to download from the technet subscription download site.
Now the download manager showed up and listed both the old and the new download selections.
Cancelled the new selection and resumed the old selection.

That's a lots of gyrations just to resume an interrupted download.

Don't the MS junior,wet-behind-the-ears, programmers ever test their products before release? or are the likewise talented managers not supervising?

I recon, it is a strange app, might appear as fast it will disappear! I'm not very used to Download Manager...It is very rare a DL failed when hit directly in the browser.
