Download Accelerator Plus

Download Accelerator Plus is the leading download manager/accelerator that increases download speed by up to 300 percent.

DAP allows you to recover from lost connections, computer shutdowns, and other errors and to resume interrupted downloads. DAP also features automatic hang-up after download completion, download scheduling and dial-up configuration.

DAP is *must* for everyone who download things from internet. It increases the speed by using around 2 - 9 different connections.

Hmm... Didn't like DAP very much. Liked Getright, but it had one failing. If you lost your connection (as started from IE) it would sit around waiting till you clicked retry when the connection was redialed. (i get cut off every 2 Hrs)
To overcome this i now use Flashget. This will restart the download when reconnected at any time. I still prefer Getrights interface though.
In passing, the best speed increase i get is X2 (5kps up to 10kps intermittently).

DAP sucks bigtime. Slows down to a crawl before the download finishes and I hate that flashing light in the taskbar that urges me to buy something. Use Stardownloader or Fresh download - both will integrate with the popular browsers and will outperform Dap - without the bs.

I have 6 browsers on my desk top including Opera. When I first tried to download something (I forget what) in Opera I couldn't get it to use any of my other download managers. It insisted on using FlashGet, which I didn't have. I finally gave in and got FlashGet and now use it for just about all downloads except in Mozilla which has its own very good manager. My favorite is now FlashGet.
