it's called nt

haven't used it as yet though I have had it on my machine for a while now
... wget/curl are easier IMO ... and since I do a buffered download from a
box with a fat pipe, I get a full 5.x kBps download speed.. it can't be
accelerated any further... and I don't think downloads can be accelerated
in real terms on a dialup link.. it's more of a psychological thing(works
wonders on the Windoze ppl.) ... in fact multiple concurrent downloads
will only slow down the whole download process.

if you are in a shared environment and hundreds of people are fighting for
every bit of traffic ... then maybe a download accelerator will give you a
slightly better speed.

These are my views(not necessarily correct!).. if anyone has proof to the
contrary .. pls. let me know.
