Whatever you do, don't use Netscapes Download Manager...it's spyware...
You can read more about it on grc.com in his spyware section...

Lately, for some unknown reason, Netscape 6---which I downloaded a while ago---has decided to annoint itself my download manager. How do I stop this from happening without uninstalling the program?

Would appreciate any useful tip?

Isn't the spyware detector "OptOut" from Gibson Research Corporation www.grc.com ?
BTW, it's not only free but Gibson has some pretty nifty tools such as an online security leak detector (for testing firewalls, etc) for free too. Good stuff and highly recommended.
Oh, I like Download Accelerator. I think that OptOut may have disabled its spyware characteristics...
