karachidude Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 i would like your suggestions and comparisons on the following download managers and which of them is the fastest at downloading.1)Internet Download Manager(Paid version)2)HiDownload Manager(Paid version)3)Download Accelerator plus 4)Mass Downloader(Paid version)Respect to all the Guru's out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shought Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I don't think the speed will differ much, even if it would you can't really test it and even if you could test it I doubt it would differ more than a kilobyte a second or something.I do think that most people would point out IDM as the best (from what I've heard), I personally don't use any download manager.ps edited your title to be a little more descriptive ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the only program that took me to 425kbps on my 256kbps on the previous connection I had, it gave me max 150-200 kbps in all the downloaders I have use. So far Orbit, Internet download manager, DAP, Free download manager and many more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jota.Ce Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 There is a Mass Downloader similar tool for free: Free Download Manager.But i'd prefer a lighter and portable version <1MB (sometimes you need to squeeze your line up to its limits when 1-thread downloading is certainly slow compared with your limit).I use an older cracked EXE from an installation of MD back in 2004. Call it "Portable" with many quotes xD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janus Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 While I rarely use download managers, when I do use it I use Free Download Manager (FDM). As far as I've noticed it has all the features and functionality of the "popular" Internet Download Manager but like the name says its free, plus what I like it about it most is that is doesn't seem to spread itself all over your system like Internet Download Manager (IDM) does.Frankly they aren't all that useful anyway considering most download sites one will have to deal with won't allow multiple concurrent connections which is the whole basis of the "acceleration" these download managers provide.The most useful download manager, which is sort of in a different class of download manager from those two and what I use most often is JDownloader. Very very useful for downloading the split movies, appz, etc on sites like rapidshare, megaupload, etc etc. Its good stuff. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janus Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 JDownloader -> JavaI personally dislike having virtual machines degradating my PC.Yeah the one thing I dislike about JDownloader that it runs on java. But it makes up for it with the convenience it provides, most specifically how it can be set up with your specific router to disconnect/reconnect from your ISP so as to reset your IP and get past the download limits for free users put on by sites like rapidshare. Not to mention its CAPTCHA recognition. I loves it soooo much. :frusty: :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karachidude Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 download managers decrease download time by making multiple concurrent connections with the site ur downloading from.none of them has never doubled or tripled my download speed.a good download manager,is a useful software as it does more than speeding up downloads.

Administrator DKT27 Posted July 31, 2009 Administrator Share Posted July 31, 2009 @implague Which ISP do you use? I didn't say 256max but normal speed 256 said by the ISP. I had 2mbps max speed at that time and after using DAP it took me max 400 that is not very much possible on 2mps connection. And no I didn't feel insulted.@karachidude I agree with you and on the other side every modern day download manager does "decrease download times by making multiple concurrent connections".

KotaXor Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I found the ability to resume download a great feature in Download Managers.Most, if not all download managers have this feature.But I am using Internet Download Manager for a long time and have not found any problems with it. Still sticking by it.Maybe someone could recommend me a better download manager. I would certainly loved to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
