The Download Demon (alias Real Download or Netscape Smart Download) attempts to automate various file downloading functions, to permit downloads to be interrupted and later resumed, plus other related functionality. It silently links itself into your Web browsers to take over all downloading operations--without your taking any specific actions to install or enable it--and your system may then hang in the course of various downloads! A much less obvious "feature" of the Download Demon is that all files you
