    None of them work (very well), your download speed is as fast as it will go. You might gain 2kb/s but say if you have 1mb your never gonna go faster than 130kb/s. Why both adding more crap to your computer.

    not true. they work with DDL's when you normally get ~50 kb/s and the server allows multiple connections when you use a DA you get 3 or 4x 50kb/s

    you have to watch it though. i once used one that did little more than cache web pages in its own little folder, making them apear to be loading faster.

    How often do you use DDL for a file more than 5 mb big? Hardly never, so i would wiat the extra 30 seconds than have some spyware infested pos running in the background.

    meh....they dont work
    i mean, i still use TCPoptimizer to tweak some of the windows reg settings,
    because i am too much of a lazy ass to browse through regedit and do it,
    but other than that.....
