A decent download manager/accelerator?

[Organic]

I'm looking for one that actually does increase speeds, is rather safe, etc etc.

I used one at my friend's house, took his speeds from 600kb to about 6-7mb/sec.

Do you remember that download accelerator?
If you dont, I suggest flashget.

Seems great, I guess I'll stick with it.

It does not make your internet faster, it makes multiple connections so you can download faster than that website wants you to download. Even with a download manager, you can not download faster than your line speed.

I use Internet Download Manager and it helps a lot, though I'm still upgrading my internet.

Then I might be looking for something more like Pando Media Booster?

My brother used it on his comp once when he wanted to play Maple Story and he was getting speeds from 6-7mb/sec when the usual download speed for us is 600-700kb/s, most I've ever seen without a booster i 1.9mb/sec, but it'll go down to 600-700 and settle there.

You can increase your current speed by tweaking some values in the registry. I recommend TCP Optimizer as it tweaks those registry values for you.

If you use firefox then you can download the plugin: DownThemAll! which does the same as any other 'download accelerator' but integrated into firefox.

Be careful on your reg files. I once fucked up a PC by doing too much tweaking too it. In the end something in my CPU molt.

You're not getting speeds like 6-7mb/s out of a connection that used to give 600kb/s. You're getting 6-7 mbits/s. That's actually worse than 600kb/s. With ADSL/Fibre and similar it's simply impossible to get more out of your line than the max the ISP sets.

Try Download Accelerator Plus (DAP).
There's a trial and pay version.

Best download manager that I've used has been flashget. The older 1.7 version. It allows me to use roughly 98% of my line for a single file most of the time. Which is a very high percentage. Not only that, it's also light weight and doesn't require much resources.

IDM (internet download manager), is by far the best ive ever used

 

[wtfmang]

like andy said use idm kicks my downloads up fast as hell. my little brothers computer running wireless downloads at 700kbps and it usually runs at like 200 or 100. i have dsl too thats the reason why my dl's are so slow. http://rapidshare.com/files/237805242/IDM.v5.17.Build.5-hardal.rar

Internet Download Manager works fine. Got DAP PREMIUM too.
