What Internet browsers are supplied with the Damn Small Linux distro?

Do these browsers have download managers?

Dillo, gLinks-hacked and there's a script to install Firefox.

Yes they do, but I think what you're asking is do they support external download managers, like GetRight or GoZilla and the answer to that is...sorta.

They can be configured to use download managers like Downloader for X or (my personal favorite) wget or a graphical front-end for wget like [xgk]get, but aren't ready to go "out of the box".  

Basically, if you want to use these, you'll have to configure the browser to associate which mimetypes you want managed by your preferred download manager (i.e. iso, tar.gz, tar.bz, etc.) and then whenever you click on a specified mimetype, the browser will pass the download to the download manager you specified.

Hope this helps.

urlget is nice.

with normal glibc, it's 100k.

with uclibc it could be a lot less....

Sorry I didn't make myself clearer. What I am asking is...
What are the native download managers for the browsers supplied with DSL, and how do I get to them?  I tried right-clicking in Dillo but a drop-down menu did not appear as with other browsers

Dillo does not seem to be "download friendly" , especially for ftp.

However, glinks works great for download.

I believe the method is to either right-click on the link and choose download, or highlight the link using the "TAB" key and press the "d" key to download the link as a file.

Here is a link that describes the keyboard commands for elinks, which is very similar to the "links hacked" that comes installed in DSL.  You will need to scroll down the page until you see the "Navigation Keys" section:
