Publisher's description of Download Accelerator Manager Free Edition 2.3

From Tensons:

Download Accelerator Manager (DAM) is a tool for resuming, scheduling, and managing Internet downloads. With the resume capability of DAM, it will recover broken downloads due to unexpected events or errors, such as lost connections, power outages, or network problems. DAM can get files from protected sites and support Web cookies, proxy, HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP protocols, and redirects.

A wealth of other features include connection, cookie, and free-space management and automatic shutdown. Plus, it integrates with Microsoft Internet Explorer, MSN Explorer, Avant Browser, Maxthon (MyIE2), Firefox, Netscape, Mozilla, Opera, and other browsers, to handle downloads.

Version 2.3 adds scheduler, improves data recovery and reliability from unexpected events and errors, and includes bug fixes.

"Kick downloads into high gear"

Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Version reviewed: Download Accelerator Manager Free Edition 2.3

We had mixed but generally positive feelings about this download accelerator. The good news is that Download Accelerator Manager Free Edition accelerates downloads, supports multiple browsers, and picks up broken transfers without a hitch. The bad news is it has a mediocre feature set, even for a freeware program. Download Accelerator Manager Free Edition integrates with all popular browsers, including Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Opera, so you only have to click a link to start a transfer. Alternately, you can drag a link to Download Manager's tiny "basket," which floats on top of your other windows. Download Accelerator automatically sorts incoming files into folders by type. It can send cookies if necessary, but it can't handle password-protected sites. It can't schedule downloads, either, but it can shut down your computer after finishing a transfer. The clear, good-looking interface was the deciding factor. Despite slight reservations, we recommend Download Accelerator Manager Free Edition to avid downloaders on a budget.

Pros: It download's using IE and Opera.

Cons: It does not support Mozilla Firefox, which is what I always use so no good for me and other Firefox user's.

"Excellent"

by phoebe51 on July 4, 2007

Pros: This is a great program if you have a large amount of files to download and you do not have dsl or high speed internet. Is especially good for large files with dialup. Love this program. Took less time to download files as compared to downloading without using dialup. Highly recommend this for dialup users.
