what is the best download accelerator?
I know 'DAP' but it contains spy-ware.
Leechget: www.leechget.de/
...or Flashget.
Flashget does it for me.
Net Transport 1.87.258, the last freeware version. For sure.
Flashget
GetRight
"I know 'DAP' but it contains spy-ware." does it? I thought that was just part of sending the adverts my adware than spy.
Net Transport
I like flashget and getright.
can't remember which is teh better one though, i think it's flash get. :unsure:
I use StarDownloader does everything you want a downloader to do and theres a free version
I can't believe you're not using P2P/IRC/USENET!
:huh:Quote:

Since when is it a better idea to get apps from other sources than the original site or official mirrors? Not talking about cr*cks, s*rials, ks etc., but the app itself.
When downloading this nero update without a download accelerator you get only 15 kb/s if you use a download accelerator you get speeds up to 120 kb/s ;)Quote:

My USENET download was maxed out all the way through and it arrived with 'extras' too. :)Quote:

to tell you the truth... on broadband.. you see no difference.
yes it does. I have a 4000 kbit/s connection and it really boost speeds for example when you download this nero update from softpedia.Quote:

Hmm, I do notice Leechget trys to hold the download at a high speed refuseing it to go down...firefox's download manager would shift up and down alot in speed. I am downloading GTA1 free from rockstar games at 385kb/s at a solid rate. Sometimes goes slighty higher if anything.
btw, I also used the "FlashGot" Extention for Firefox browser. When you click a download link.. you can move the check to "FlashGot" and it will start useing LeechGet, FlashGet, or whatever accelerator you use. (it supports about 4 of them)
This program has changed since I last used it and works much better. :) coo
Ive only used StarDownloader aand am satisfied - will try some of the ones you guys mentioned
i think they all are about the same.. Leechget shouldnt have spyware tho.
I'm scanning with latest AdAware SE build..plus latest def file.
i'll note back if it does. (never know..)
Flash get is definetly the most gangsta download accelerator out there dawg
Pc OuT
The last version of FlashGet I kempt on my computer long was 1.4. Ever since the adware/spyware? that comes w/FG isn't for me. Don't miss it with Net Transport 1.87.258, does everything FG did. Chinese sites included.
I've been waiting for someone to mention the spyware thing.Quote:

I've scanned it with every anti trojan and ad/spyware scanner I could lay my hands on.
It came up clean every time.
