I dunno. I bought Vito Downloader and never used it. This appears to be the same concept.

Just wondering if there are any users here that actually download enough times/day to make this software usefull? My own experience is that the files I would download are so small, that increasing the download speed would save me maybe a couple of seconds at most. Just my perspective. :D

I dunno, I don't download that often but when I do I find them to be pretty speedy overall.

Once I tried to download an 85 MB file to an SD card where there was plenty of space, and the download failed because I think it tries to buffer to RAM... :-(

Anyone ever heard of this author? There are two mis-spellings in the screen shot.

I think that PIE will cache the download and usually the cache is made in the main memory.

Anyways, i don't have faith in any "download accelerator", for pc, mac or any computer or system.

R u kidding man?
I have a cable connection with average download speed of 350kb/s but some sites have poor qulity servers with low bandwith so whatever your speed is u dont get more than 50kb/s but with download accelarators 'like DAP' it really works great coz u get 4 times the speed, like almost 200kb/s this is due to multiple download for the same file at the same time. :wink:

It is my experience that this happens on the desktop as well. If the drive that has the Temporary Internet Files folder has free space less than that required by a download you may try to make, the download will complete unsuccessfully even if you are saving the file to a different drive.
