Download program questions

Post by TruckerT »

I am looking for feedback on download programs. The type that automatically split the download into several pieces and effectively decrease the time necessary to download files. I have tried a few, but most seem a bit high in price for what they do. Any thoughts anybody????

but Spybot Search and Destroy will quickly spot all of the spyware in the free version.As an aside, I like both flashget and DAP.

No adverts and can be bypassed if you want, with shift button.
