0 John Veteran Posted July 5, 2003 Veteran Share Posted July 5, 2003 in my experience, none of the above actually downloaded any faster than ie. my 1.5 mbit cable line fills up pretty fast (192 kbytes/s) when i actually download anything. if i'm just browsing it probably doesn't reach those speeds, but i don't care, pages load fast enough at ~100k.

0 MxxCon Posted July 5, 2003 Author Share Posted July 5, 2003 in my experience, none of the above actually downloaded any faster than ie. my 1.5 mbit cable line fills up pretty fast (192 kbytes/s) when i actually download anything. if i'm just browsing it probably doesn't reach those speeds, but i don't care, pages load fast enough at ~100k. oh regular downloads yes, it doesn't matter. but if you are downloading some popular file and that site is hella slow, FlashGet and GetRight, will automaticly search for more mirrors of that file, allowing you to reach your maximum speed. as far as i know no other download manager does that. and let's not forget ability to resume stopped downloads. puter crash, inet connectop dropped, whatever, these download managers can save you time and that server bandwidth.
