Your Download Manager?
 

What do you use as a download manager?

I use kontiki. It's not very good, but it gets the job done. Pretty fast, too.

I use getright licensed (stole serial) it really works, it makes downlaods faster than normal windows downlaoder by like 4x

... What's Download Manager? They make your download faster?? where can I get one?

Download accelorator plus.

DAP, for sure.

They split the fileyour downloading into several pieces and download them at the same time, making your download speed much faster..

Getright and DAP, for different situations.

I use my cable modem. It works REALLY fast. :hehe:

I'm on cable with a provider that stays up to date, my normal downloads are only capped by the host of the file, I used DAP to download PlanetSide and the download with the normal IE downloader was about 80-100kbps, when I downloaded with DAP it was 250-400 kbps.

I think mines around 100, but I don't use a manager. Hey does anybody know how fast T3 downloads/uploads ? Just a thought.

Um... like... faster than hell... You can measure it in Megabytes per second.

DAP, definitely, I also like the Pause/Resume options. Even though in some sites, if you use it to download something, you'll just get an empty file (no files to extract). Because the site doesnt support splitting the downloads or something.

That sounds like a really great tool to have, could some one please take a few mins to explain about this please ie: which download managers are best , and easy to use,
and maybe also dumb it down alittle for people like me who have never even heard of this before.

I have 1meg modem will it help me?

43 Mbit/s in both ways i think. But i know its 43 Mbit.

You mean 1Mbit line? Not much. Since your DL is up to 125kB/s.

There was a new speed record set a few months back, dunno what company it was who made a pipelien that sent 8 GBs in like 1 minute and a half from the US to Somewhere in europe

I can't wait for t4. They're rumored to release it next year.

Because it's probably like a million dollars a year.

Heres a chart with the speeds

33.6 K (Modem) 33,600 bps

56 K (Modem) 56,000 bps

64 K (DS-0) 64,000 bps

128 K (ISDN) 128,000 bps

256 K (DSL) 256,000 bps

640 K (DSL/Cable) 640,000 bps

768 K (DSL/Cable) 768,000 bps

T1, DS-1 1.544 Mbps

T3, DS-3 44.736 Mbps

OC-1 51.840 Mbps

OC-3 155.520 Mbps

OC-12 622.080 Mbps

OC-48 2.488 Gbps

OC-192 10 Gbps


sry bout the spammage.

Well, I have cable and I have a 1.2 meg line with /632 upload.

i use DAP
i have 768 k dsl, but my download speed cant get above 80 kb per second, even with DAP on. I dont know why this is :(

Because you got a cap on your connection. DAP wont help you much unless the site you are dl from allows eg 15kB/s on each client.
