I’m surprised by your ignorance Blurp. Do you know what this add-on does? Didn’t think so. Try it and compare your speed to the built-in manager, then apologize to the rest of us for your comment.

Actually, it does download faster, as it’s the case with other download managers such as FlashGet. The principle is easy, as most of the servers accept multiple connections and your download manager does just that, opens multiple connections to the same file and downloads it faster.

This is valid because most servers have transfer limits, so multiple connections of the same speed…you do the math. On servers without transfer limit, this is useless of course, because you download with your full speed anyway.

Hope you understood now

I’ve always been amazed by those download managers claiming they download faster and people just believe this as a fact.

You download the same media from the same server using the same protocol through the same physical connection. Do you really think the Firefox default download manager is that bad that it leaves room for another application to be 4 times faster ?
