Well I did think of that but thought you'd be anti IE. Yes that would work.

As for the download manager, it shouldn't matter if only 5 at a time run as long as it can queue up more which I'm sure it could. Downloading 20 things at once can be counter productive if the connection drops for example. I'd rather download 1 file at a time with multiple connections.

A long time ago I used Getright. Not sure if it's still any good or even around. Now I use Free Download Manager. There's a portable version too if you don't want to clutter up your PC too much (I'm big on portable apps these days). It can catch downloads directly from Chrome too if you want.
