2:43p	Download manager with cookie support? <Update Wed Jan 16 23:31:47 UTC 2008> It looks like d4x does have support for cookies, it's just FlashGot that's screwing up and not passing the cookie like it should. So anyone got a suggestion for a better download manager plugin for Iceweasel? :) Ok, this is driving me nuts... for two days now I've been trying to find a download manager that actually supports cookies. A number of sites that I go to use cookies to store your login info, so when you use a downloader that doesn't use the cookies, you get no files. So far I've tried: Downloader for X (d4x) Aria KGet wxDownload Fast Gwget Not a single one of them has support for cookies! I could probably hack in support for cookies into Gwget as it just calls wget for you (and wget supports loading cookies), but it's also the least featured of the ones I've tried. (Aria has more features, even if it does make my eyeballs bleed...) Anyone have any other suggestions? This is driving me up a wall! (p.s. integration with FlashGot is a plus.)

7:03p	Sound and lagging issues First off, thanks for all the help with my wireless issue; it is resolved. (Hooray!) New problem, however: I'm not sure what's causing it, but lately my computer has started flipping out about two programs needing to make noise at once (e.g., playing a game and I get an IM at the same time; sound hiccups/freezes like it can't figure out what to do). This is a fairly new problem, and I don't know if it's just that my sound card is going bad or what. Also, after cleaning up (read: deleting) a bunch of files, my computer's started lagging something fierce. Iceweasel has a hard time switching between tabs (especially if one of them is YouTube playing a video, in which case the sound also does the freezing thing), and in general I have a hard time switching between open windows. I don't run 30 programs at once, either; we're talking just Iceweasel and Gaim (did this with Pidgin, too, when I used it). Do I need to defrag or anything like you'd need to do in Windows? Did I miss something? I deleted the files completely, and didn't just send them to the trash. For what it's worth, I think this could just be an issue with my computer in general being on its last legs and needing replacement, but I figured I'd ask you guys first.
