Advantages: It does it's job
Disadvantages: Too hard to use
Ever find yourself waiting on a download??? Well wait no more.
This handy little programme splits the download into 5 separate connections then downloads them together, so making the download up to 10x quicker.
Not only does it speed up your downloads to the max, it has a resume option for most of the downloads, so if complications happen and the download is stopped no need to cry just press resume. To add to that all downloads can be pre-checked by your anti-virus using the options, covering another aspect of security.
The one criticism I have is the user friendly aspect. I believe that you must have some experience of computer usage to use this programme because there is loads of jargon, options and different screens that will baffle you, I mean, I fix computers and at first I was confused.
But if waiting for a file to complete is just too much then go for DAP, I will be honest, I personally wouldn't go as far as to purchase the premium version, it's not that good but definitely an asset for any PC.

- 02/12/08 Speed is dictated by other things as well.
Splitting it up works like eating a cake. You could be eating a cake with a queue of people behind you waiting for some, or you could pass a little of the cake around all of them and they could all eat it at the same time, so it gets finished more quickly. |

- 02/12/08 I don't get this - I'm probably being thick. Surely when you download something, the speed is dictated by your bandwidth? Splitting it five ways doesn't increase the bandwidth - or does it?? |
