| 550659 | 2007-05-17 09:14:00 | Do Download managers like Fresh Download improve download speeds on Broadband or are they only effective on dialups? Cheers |

| 550660 | 2007-05-17 09:44:00 | They work good sometimes on both. BUT, not all sites like download managers. The site will refuse to download the file when u use one. |

| 550661 | 2007-05-17 09:51:00 | Welcome to PressF1 tuiruru :) How well they work on Broadband will depend on if you use FTP or HTTP to download the files & what plan you’re on & if you’re ISP has any speed limit on things like FTP etc… |

| 550662 | 2007-05-17 10:37:00 | extremely handy even with broadband. some sites limit the download speeds so its handy to be able to do download simultaneously from multiple mirrors. it can make a huge difference in speed. | tweak'e (69) | ||
| 550663 | 2007-05-17 10:52:00 | I find a lot of the time I am limited to 50kbps. With download managers giving multiple connections I can easily hit 2-300kbps :) | trinsic (6945) | ||
