Many of us experience slow download speeds when we are downloading content from the web. i.e Music, videos, software e.t.c. The biggest frustration with this is that when you are eagerly waiting for something to download and the download speeds are not good, you end up getting disappointing at the fact that you have to wait and wait for it to complete. Imagine that you are waiting for this download to complete and has taken long, and when it is at 99%, there is an error and the download stops. Now you have to start all over as there is no way you can resume it. Wouldn't it be great if you knew a way to increase download speeds and get a resume capability?
Most of the web browsers we use to download content from the web do not give us satisfactory speeds. However, that does not mean that we have to now stop using this browsers, delete them and start looking for a new better one. The best way to increase your download speed is by installing a special type of software that what will boost your download speed.
How do this softwares work?
The normal web browsers that we use to download content from the web only make a single connection to the download server to get the download. You can not get the full download speed from your ISP using a single connection. This download software makes multiple different connections to the web server to obtain the file you are downloading. This means that if your web browser was downloading a file at 10kbps with ofcourse a single connection, then if the download software makes 10 connections, the same file will download at
10kbps x 10 connections = 100kbps
Note: This also depends on the speed that your ISP offers you.
One other amazing feature that is also included is that you can resume your download anytime.The download automatically pauses if there is an error or your net goes off. So if your file stops downloading at 99%, don't worry, you can always resume it. This software automatically pick the download from the browser and you do not have to copy and paste links and so you can also continue using the browsers you are using. This software are also called download managers.
What are some of this softwares?
As you know how this softwares work, how you can use them and the usefulness, you can also get and use this softwares for yourself. There are many softwares available on the internet and the market but of-course I would suggest you the best ones.
I have had the best experience with:
Internet Download Manager (IDM)
Apart from the amazing acceleration you can get with IDM, IDM also allows you to download videos from the internet simply by clicking on the balloon that appears below it. This makes it very convenient and completely eliminates the use of video downloaders.
Download accelerator plus(DAP)
This is just like IDM but not satisfactory as such as it has got some bugs and the video download is not convenient and they display adds on it. But DAP is also a perfect tool to boost your download speeds.
