I've been using DAP for quite a few years now, but after getting a new work PC recently, I decided to find a new download manager.
Out of the 4 free ones I downloaded, by far the best one was Free Download Manager, available from
http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/
It has all the features you require, including a very nice download scheduler, and no advertising (yes please).
Sielkundige vra vir Gammat : Kyk jy vir jou vrou se gesig gedurende seks.
"Ek het eenkeer en sy het redelik de moer in gelyk."
"Hoe dan so?"
"Sy het by die venster ingeloer."

Gammat verdrink in 'n wynvat op die plaas. Regter vra of hy dadelik
verdrink het.
Getuie, "Ny djou honor, hy't 2 maal uitgeklim om te pee".
This week I decided to give a personnel agent the boot because of the second no-show of one of their candidates for an interview without any notification whatsoever.
I probably would have let it slide if the agent actually apologised after I notified her of the first no-show.
This gets me down to the topic, if any of these candidates or even the agent had shown some consideration, and did the right thing, one of the five candidates that had an interview scheduled might have been the right one. But since none of them showed any consideration, I decided to do the same, and cancel all the remaining interviews, and move my business to another agent.
Unfotunately this trend of showing no consideration for our fellow South Africans is becoming more and more evident nowadays. On our roads, in our shops, everywhere.
Until we don't start showing some, our country is never going to be the awesome place it could be…
The message that I'm trying to convey here, is that next time you do something that could influence the lives of others, have some consideration for the repercussions of your actions.
Antie Joan is innie shower toe die deur klokkie lui, sonder om te dink spring sy uit en halloep trappe af (kaalgat, want daar's niemand by die huis nie)
Toe sy by die voordeur kom , loer sy deerie loergatjie, maar oppie selle tyd buk die debt collector af en loer deur die posgat en vra toe " kroes koppie waas jou ma?"
This statement by a senior provincial politician embodies what is currently wrong with our country. And the people on the street learn their bad habits from this.
The politician's motorcade was driving too fast, just another person that's supposed to set an example, but that thinks he is above the law. And when a white person takes him on about breaking the law, he immediately falls back on the old "Apartheid"/"You're hassling me because I'm black" excuse.
You can seriously stop with that now, we're hassling you because you're not above the law, and you should start setting an example for your people.
In my opinion, the moment our population stop attaching anything remotely racist to normal comments, our country will be a much better place.

The teacher gave her fifth grade class an assignment – Get their
parents to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it. The next day the kids came back and one by one began to tell their stories.
Michael said, "My father's a farmer and we have a lot of egg-laying
hens. One time we were taking our eggs to market in a basket on the
front seat of the car when we hit a big bump in the road and all the
eggs went flying and broke and made a mess."
"What's the moral of the story?" asked the teacher.
"Don't put all your eggs in one basket!"
Very good," said the teacher.
Next little Sarah raised her hand and said,
"Our family are farmers too. But we raise chickens for the meat
market. We had a dozen eggs one time, but when they hatched we only got ten live chicks, and the moral to this story is, "Don't count your chickens before they're hatched."
"That was a fine story Sarah. Ashleigh, do you have a story to share?"
"Yes, my daddy told me this story about my Aunty Karen.
Aunty Karen was a flight engineer in the Gulf War and her plane was
hit.
She had to bail out over enemy territory and all she had was a bottle
of whisky, a machine gun and a machete.
She drank the whisky on the way down so it wouldn't break and then she
landed right in the middle of 100 enemy troops. She killed seventy of
them with the machine gun until she ran out of bullets. Then she
killed twenty more with the machete until the blade broke. And then she
killed the last ten with her bare hands."
"Good heavens," said the horrified teacher, "what kind of moral did
your daddy tell you from that horrible story?"
"Stay the f**k away from Aunty Karen when she's been drinking."
Is this the best you can do? Another 500 fat, lazy (ok, not all of them, but a lot) people to manage speed traps and check that no-one is talking on a cellphone while driving.
Get real, that's not what we need. We need visible policing, to stop our road carnage, as well as the out-of-control crime rate in our country.
We should really look at automated speed traps, and get the Metro cops to start doing their work. I see hundreds of taxis (mostly) and other cars skipping red traffic lights every week. These are in a few hot spots around the city, which the Metro Police know about, but do nothing about, it is much easier to just sit behind a speed camera than to actually pull someone over.
I challenge the management of Jo'burg and the Metro Police to do better than this.
