In Reply to: Download Accelerator - any shortcomings? posted by Mojo2000 on 25, 2001 at 12:31 PM:
I just started using it but the first time I used it I got about 220 kb/s on the download. ZDNet gave it 5 stars. It seems to have no shortcomings that I noticed. It does have a tiny ad bar but thats about it. I also didn't mention, I works as a resumable DL program too, just like GOZilla or GetRight.
: : I just downloaded this program. It's the 4th most downloaded program at ZDnet this week. It increased my download speed on the first think I tried by about 300% with a cable modem!!!! I know everyone here downloads a lot of roms so this should help a lot.
: If it's at ZDNet and 4th most downloaded... it must be good. But are there any caveats? I can understand 56K and slower users could benefit greatly, but how does it work for broadband? Does it cause significant drain on the cable ISP's or perhaps the host websites?
