HX1 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I use DTA = "DownThemAll!" for FF3, I have to use the regular download manager for links from limited sites and file servers though.. and I use the Anti-Container Plugin for the extension.. ( but don't know why..LOL ) A few cool little toys at the author's site too..There is an extension that turns firefox into a torrent, magnet link, opera-like downloader..( suggested for use with Tor.. not for sure ) but I currently am not using it because I like the option that I have with my next program too much.. and I can use the WebUI...with the right security..all customized to fit my system BTW...( yes even the WebUI )uTorrent for magnet, torrent files..I hardly use these for my personal consumption BUT, nevertheless.. LOLFor IE8 I use the integrated download manager which actually can operate separately from IE7Pro...You have to be careful with HTML5/DNLA3 type stuff, like clicking on a file and view a movie or a song n the browser because the manager will try to download the file.. so be sure to change the settings...Safari.. well.. the built-in..as if ..Opera.. well it does all that.. torrents, files, magnet links... all there..I tried a couple of download managers in the past but I found the usage of them became more work to use, that it was to simply use the integrated features of the program, not to mention that my main program FF with DTA offered all of the features already...

LeetPirate Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 3)DAP. 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.do you really think that can gave u the speed off 400kb ob the limit 256kb hahahahall tese softwares are work faster on ly on the HUB we r almost everyone connected to the switch so relly dosent matter which one u r usin in the mean time free download manager i preferSORRY if i insult sombodyJust some clarification on this matter. All electrical signals consist of a transient part and a steady state part, this causes some confusion for many internet users as they often wonder how is it possible to achieve higher internet speeds than they pay for. The answer lies in the transient response which is referred to as "burst" speed of the internet connection. It's just one of those things that can't really be controlled due to the complex nature of electrical signals. When you launch a new download the initial burst speed kicks in for a short time with a high value then it gradually corrects to a steady value.As for download managers, they all do the same thing, it's just a matter of which interface you like to use. I can't see how any download manager could possibly be faster than another if they all work in the same way; by opening multiple connections to a server. A download manager will only benefit you if you have fast enough internet to sustain it else it just saturates and the more connections you open eventually starts slowing down the download instead of making it faster. So for example let's say the server you are downloading from has a fast uncapped optical carrier connection and your internet connection is 2mbps then it won't matter if you open 1 or 10 simultaneous connections because the server will still pump out enough data to fill your 2mbps to capacity. If however the server capped their outgoing connection speed to 512kbps then a download manager could help you max out your 2mpbs connection by opening 4 simultaneous connections. All the mathematics aside, a download manager does absolutely nothing for people on dial up and slow connections except to allow resume function for partial downloads. Those with dial up and other slow connections I recommend you configure the download manager to open no more than 1 or 2 simultaneous connections because each additional connection requires TCP overhead and therefore the more connections you try to open will leave less bandwidth for the actual payload (the useful data you want).The only server that gives me the highest download speed is RS premium, the files download at around 2 Mega Bytes per second, that was almost as fast as a local Wifi transfer. Nowhere else ever comes close to even half that amount but I still use free download manager anyway mainly because it's free and I know it works the exact same way as paid ones so why waste time with paid ones.

Administrator DKT27 Posted August 2, 2009 Administrator Share Posted August 2, 2009 OK. I totally agree with you leet. Actually I was wondering till date why the download starts so fast. ANW did you saw my post on Post #23. And the 400kbps was not when the download started but on middle of a huge 500 mb maybe download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HX1 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I never seen anyone mention FlashGet...or Raptor.. I ran across these two lately...FlashGet I did use in the past..but I ditched it after getting FF. It uses something called a 'Hyper-threading technology, which is what I believe is what LeetPirate is talking about above ( could be wrong though ). Those are both free, and Raptor is portable and allows you to manage your Rapidshare links. It takes control and waits for the countdown that free users have...But anyway thought I would mention those two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
