Not true - they are designed mainly for slower remote connections... or for those on DSL.

They make a HUGE difference.

When downloading Lycoris, I got it downloaded on a DSL connection in 25 minutes, as opposed to IE's projected 3 hours!

Thats a HUGE difference mate!

I use DAP, but it doesnt integrate with Phoenix - Which of the aforementioned have PF1'ers tried and can reccommend for working with Phoenix?

Cheers

133709 2003-04-15 23:37:00 download managers are mostly designed for the usa. If you do get a download manager you will most likely have less download speed. The one to get is the type that you can only pause and resume. Patrick 2003 (277)

but if your downloading from a site in NZ you'll get good speed "probably your max"

I tried several of the ones mentioned earlier, but went back to the built-in Opera one which does as above.
