Are you sure it is Flashgot or Flashget? I haven't heard of flashgot. Check if it is flashget, if it is, A flashget is like a download manager where you can stop your download and resume it again if you want to. It also acts as a download accelerator where you can download files faster than ordinary downloading. "Flashget can automatically split files into sections or splits, and download each split simultaneously. Multiple connections are opened to each file and the result is the most efficient exploitation of the bandwidth available." Hope this helps!

It's your download manager. You may not have noticed it when you actually installed the plugin - I don't have it in my system, it's not really there by default. It's not harmful :) Thanks for the response on my discussion!

FlashGot is a downloads manager. I've been using it for a lot of time now and find it great. It interfaces with all major browsers (IE, Firefox, Flock and Opera) so it's very versatile. I think you might have installed the flashgot plugin for firefox but haven't installed the main application... Hope this helps ;)
