Package: www.debian.org
Severity: normal

The following page suggests proprietary download managers for Windows and Mac
OS:

http://www.debian.org/CD/http-ftp/


Both Getright and Speed Download are non free.

For Windows:
I suggest to remove GetRight and leave only Free Download Manager which is free
software.
If you want to add another option I found WinWget:

http://www.cybershade.us/winwget/


For Mac OS:
I would like to suggest CocoaWget:
http://code.google.com/p/cocoawget/


Hope this helps.

Thank you.
