<div class="IPBDescription">Recommendations?</div> I've tried a few but didn't like any of them, they only worked half the time and sometimes the download didn't even work until I shut off the download accelerator. So what do you recommend?

    Honestly, the only thing you should get is something to pause downloads with. You can't accelerate a download enough to make it count.

    Download accelerators use all sorts of tricks to make it seem like you're downloading much faster than you actually are.

    Like the other guys said, you just need the ability to pause, so GetRight is the best for that.

    Flashget is awsome, although I use Opera as my browser and so it already has a nice download manager with it, Flashget is great for mass file downloads.

    LeechGet.

    It doesn't speed up your downloads by that much but supports resuming, mirrors and anything you'd need. And as far as I know its free and adware free.

    Why the sudden increase in interest about these Download Accelerators?
    I've never used one so I can't pass too much comment.
