Downloaders Delight

Advantages: Fast,advert free downloading at the click of a button
Disadvantages: None

...Have you been cut off half way through an important download and had to start all over again? I have on several occasions. Many ISP’s these days restrict the maximum time a user can spend online at a single time, my ISP has a limit of 2 hours. You can of course reconnect immediately but that all important download has to be started again. That is of course unless you use a download manager. My choice is Download Mage, an excellent program which controls your downloads for you. Download managers are, for the uninitiated, are programs which can resume a download from the point at which it failed, either due to disconnection, system hang ups or simply the bandwidth becoming too clogged for the file to transfer correctly. Download Mage performs just this function and more. Not only can you resume downloads but you can schedule...

Downloading made Easy

Advantages: Free software, easy to use, resumes broken downloads
Disadvantages: Search function is a little slow

...at downloadaccelerator.com. Installation is quick and simple. Amongst this software’s features it claims to speed up download time by 400%, I have seen no real evidence of this I must confess, perhaps it is a tad faster, I don’t know. Other features are Auto Mirroring, a function which will direct the download to other sites where the same program is located and select the fastest one for you, perhaps this is where the 400% comes in. This goes on behind the scenes and is pretty much seamless. You can also queue files (schedule) for downloading which the program will the happily download for you and can be left to get on with it while you are away from your PC, except in my case when I have to log back in every two hours, I really must locate a program to do that for me. There is also a software search facility which allows you to...

Download for the Mac

Advantages: Lots of free software, many free software!
Disadvantages: Programs can be slow to download and of variable quality.

...As the title sort of suggests, this is about the Macintosh version of Download.com. It is truly a great site indeed. Download.com is a site from the CNET.com network which allows you to download hundreds of new applications for free, rate them with others and find more new software. Most software is full-featured demos, and more often than not quality shareware and freeware. The Mac site seems to be updated every week, early in the week (around Monday or Tuesday, I think). They add new software to the list and allow you to search for more and more each week. I have found some very useful software including... LimeWire - a Macintosh Gnutella client to allow you to obtain files like MP3's etc. Alarm Clock Pro - what a great way to wake up, with your favourite MP3 programmes. iTunes - Yes, I discovered Apple's latest...

DOWNLOAD.COM

Advantages: Everything for everybody.
Disadvantages: None.

...This is one of my favourite places on internet. You know since the computer age, I get more and more interested in gadgets and devices to make my computer a more interesting place to be. Some of the downloads I have had from this site have been disappointing but in the main, they have some good catagories. The categories are easy to follow : Audio and Video Internet Games Business IS/IT Mobile Design Tools Web Developers Software developers Utilities and drivers Desktop enhancers Home and education. The idea of Download.com is that there are certain downloads which are free and others that are shareware, in other words shareware ones, you are expected to register at the end of a trial period and buy the product or delete it from your computer. I have browsed the catagories for hours. I have downloaded a diary...

downloads and more downloads

Advantages: faster downloads
Disadvantages: ads (free version)

...This time, I would like to tell you something about DAP (Download Accelerator. The last "P" is "Plus"). WHAT IS THIS? -------------- DAP is a software which allows to download any application, file, etc. using any Internet connection. ADVANTAGES OF DAP ------------------ Its main feature is its high speed. Speedbit, the company which sell this product, says that its speed is up to 300% faster. I have not notice too much difference, but I think it will more useful with slow connections. DAP "breaks" the file in several parts, and download each section from the same or different servers, so it is faster because it works with many portions of the file at the same time. For me, the main advantage is that if there is some problem with connection or with server (or your computer shutdown, has an error, etc...

DOWNLOADING I WILL GO.

Advantages: New artists have their music listened to.
Disadvantages: None.

...Many readers of my reviews will know that I download music, though questions raise their heads about the legality of it all the time, and although I have not heard of fines in the U.K., I am aware that here in France in the locality where I live, fines are being levied on people for downloading music against the copyright laws. I understand that music companies have made their product so expensive and also the side of people that do download. Put a service on a huge place like the internet and people will use it. Music.download.com is something I discovered in the last week which has impressed me enormously. I was watching the Canterbury Festival on the television and also other music festivals and kind of got enthused about kinds of music that I had not listened to before. Going into music.download.com (which is part...
