Download Accelerator Plus (DAP) 8.7.0.5

Posted by TEAM FILEnetworks | 11/17/2008 | | 1 Comments »

Download Accelerator Plus (DAP) is one of the best download managers currently available. Apart from accelerating your download speeds, it can also manage your downloads, organize downloaded files, check downloaded files for viruses and malware, pause and resume downloads, segmented downloading, integrate into popular web browsers (Firefox, IE, opera and so on) and more.

Although the software is advertised with catchy phrases such as “400% download speed increases”, DAP can only increase the download speed as much as your connection bandwidth permits. However as most web browser’s default download managers do not utilize maximum connection speed, DAP is a very useful software to have. If you run this on a network which uses a shared network connection (say a LAN in a university or workplace), you could screw all other users and take all the bandwidth for yourself (which is evil btw).

If you don’t like DAP, you might want to try Orbit Downloader (specially if you want to download embedded videos from sites such as YouTube) and Free Download Manager (FDM – a simple, free and powerful application).
