I agree with you completely Kingsly, A download accelarator on a windows m/c uses a portion of your bandwidth for advertising to !!!! so where is the question of accelarated download. And the only advantage using Download accelarators on a dialup especially on a Windows m/c is when the dialup link suddenly drops all the downloaded stuff are downloaded in %system%/temp directory and you cannot reassemble or continue the download from where you stopped if you are not downloading with the Download accelarator. Download accelarator gives you that cushion of downloading small chunks whenever the line is available without having to download the entire thing everytime. > 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. > _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
