"I question the claims of the company!" Firstly, I question the claim of the maker that it speeds up downloads by 300%. I found no measurable difference betwwen using Download Accelerator and Gozilla. Further, I found in more than 70% of the downloads I attempted to make that Download accelerator told me the the download "could not be resumed". When then trying the exact same files from the exact same servers using Gozilla, I was told the the download "could be resumed". Not recommended.

"Wham Bam... I'm done!" I've been fortunate to have always had access to either a cable, DSL or T1 internet access, so download times were never an issue for me. For fun, I decided to download this program and WOW was I impressed. I've seen download speeds as high as 300kb/s!! Me being without this program is like asking Puff Daddy to quit remixing oldies... it just isn't going to happen!
