D.loads - 300% faster - no lie (well, mostly)

[old.hazzeryoda]

The new version of Download Accelerator has been released and its as smooth as a shaved peach.
http://www.downloadaccelerator.net better than any other download managers I've tried.

 

[Ono]

!

Pile of shite.
Clearly it cant make downloads 300% faster.
No piece of software on earth can make your modem recieve its packets any faster
/me strokes his cable modem

I doubt 300% though

 

[old.hazzeryoda]

yes, three times as fast.

usually a 1.5kb/s (crap, what it used to be) is not about 3-5kb/s ~ 300%


get it and see

 

[old.MeanMrMustard]

I am on the closed BETA for jumpgate and it is downloading at 0.7 kb/s on ISDN (the server is maxxed out /me thinks)

The file is 77 megs to clarify.

Yes work it out, that is a hellova lot of hours.

 

[old.hazzeryoda]

excuse me? are you using download accelerator?

 

[old.MeanMrMustard]

nope but the fact that the server is maxxed out wouldn't make a difference. other wise i would be getting 8kb/s +

 

[Embattle]

I've had it b4, the only reason you do well out of it is your poor setup, I can't get any more than 7.5Kbs on a single channel ISDN no matter what I use

 

[Perplex]

erm. hazzeryoda. you can't fit more than one pint of liquid...into a pint glass. No matter what these programs claim, all they do is alter your MTU and RWIN settings, to optimise them for long downloads.

You'll find that for general web-srufing, where you are recieving multiple small files at once (pics, text, html, flash, etc) that your performance will be worse than ever.

There is no such thing as a free lunch

 

[old.hazzeryoda]

erm, noooooo.
my MTU and RWIN setting are exactly the same.
Embattle is right and it just highlights the poorness of my modem by changing from crap to good. Its not exceeding anything or breaking anybarriers, just cutting corners here and there. getting best connection, making multiple connections etc etc.

well, anyway, ive found a great increase and so im sticking with it.

darn, busted.

i believe there was also such a thing a stream compression. that was another clever ruse as to parting you from your money =p

if you want a phat pipe(tm) to the internet you will have to get cable/dsl/microwave/T-class/DC-class or OC-class running to your home. there is nothing else for it.

nothing else _really_ works. accept it.

[shabazz]

i got a microwave, but the dl's were really shit.

I'd type the ip of the dl in but it would just hum and spin for about 20 days....

anyone know whats wrong?

maybe it's in the wrong port?

 

[Testin da Cable]

=p

 

[old.Necro]

Download 'managers' sound like things that look for a good server with the file you want, and then download it from there. Useless to those who take care where they download files from.

Ah yes, the closed beta that is somewhat open ;p

The server is max'd out a fair bit
