How do I get Flashget to take over the download!!!! Urgent Pls

Hi can you tell me how to get Flashget to take over the download as with other download managers it automatically did it itself, but with this one it doesnt seem to do this. I have also tried right clicking and clicking on the one download with flashget but nothing happens. Is there something i need to do or can i change something on my computer. I am using windows xp professional and using Windows Internet Explorer.Can anyone help please!!!! :)

What i used to do was, i would start a download, then right click on the download, i would click copy download link, then just paste it into flashget, although no clue if that works here. I'm sure there is an option in flashget to make it the default download manager

I have tried this but not really sure how to do it so its not working. Have had a look in Flashget to make this default but cant find .... if anybody has any ideas please!!!

According to wikianswers, default download is an option when installing, if you must, just reinstall it and there should be an option

I though I had done that but i will try again, i have downloaded this about three times already and it still wont work. Anything else it could be! I will try downloading it again though!

Someone said that holding Alt + Ctrl and clicking on the download link will force flashget to try and download it

Your a genius that has worked :) but now when i try to extract the files with winrar it comes up with failed and file is corrupt any more ideas!!!!Thanks!!!!

I sorry for being dumb but could you explain what I need to do and why and this is all really new to me (all I have ever done is download the odd thing and unzip).I have tried what you have sent me but the downloading % just gets stuck and will not do anymore, is this normal as I seem to have this alot!!!Thanks :)

Just for info, you may want to use Free Download Manager as your Download Manager.
Easier to use than Flashget.

I tried that one and i couldnt get it to work properly, I think it is probably me :-[Thanks

Or else, it is also recommended to use Orbit Downloader if you want to try

Your not going to believe it but I tried that too and I couldnt get it to work, but I have now managed to get Flashget to work for the time being.Thanks :)
