One reason I download them, I play them in full screen mode and it
doesn't stutter either.  Generally, full screen seems to make it work a
bit harder, unless your desktop has things in motion too.  ;-) 

When I use Seamonkey to download, it goes as fast as my DSL will let
it.  Sometimes, the server on the other end will have high loads and
slow things down but generally, it's as fast as my connection either
way.  For me, downloadhelper is just easier.
