Opera download managers?

    Downloaded Opera today, it's awesome. Run's great on my crappy connection. But I have one issue with it, I can't seem to download anything with a download manager, I have Orbit. I turned on the Browser Integration option thing but that didn't make any difference. I even downloaded FlashGet and it still doesn't come up with an option to download with any download manger when I click on a download link. How do I fix this?

    Dumb suggestion>did you right click and checked the avaible options for the file?

    I use opera too and I must admit it has a sucky plugins for third party programs. I haven't figured out how to direct the downloads to the manager too... So I just copy link adress and paste the download link to my download manager. Never had any problems so far... :)

    Yes. Doesn't come up with any option for downloading in Opera.
    That's what I usually do with Firefox if I have issues. But sometimes there's a few links that I have to actually click on to make it download :-\ And It'd be more convenient if I could just click on a link and select Orbit.

    opera has its own built in download manager.

    I realized that but it keeps freezing, resuming doesn't seem to work either.

    Copy the download link from opera and just paste it in to your download manager.

    I guess I'll do that then.

    Or you could download and use Firefox which integrates perfectly with FlashGet and many other download managers :)

    That's what I usually do, but it'd be more convenient to just download in opera without having to open Firefox. Ah well, can't have everything I suppose, I'll do without.

    I used Opera for years. 2002-2008.

    I upgraded to Firefox last year. And the plugins and compatibility of Firefox is just awesome :)
