"Good downloading program for dialup people who gets cut off after a few hours."
Version: Download Accelerator Plus 8
Pros
If your internet service drops you in the middle of a download you can re-dial and pickup that program in the same spot you lost it.
Cons
The accelerator is slow. No faster than without it.To get a real acceleration you must upgrade . I spent $39.90 SALE PRICE. They say up to 400% faster,I got 200%. All you get is the same program you got for free with no ads and a $20.00 Speed optimizer. I e'mailed for 2 weeks to get higher speed. At the end of the 2 weeks their support messed my program up so bad I couldn't use it no more. DO NOT UPGRADE.

"Interesting but"
Version: Download Accelerator Plus 8
Pros
It sounds great for dial up users and download freaks like me . i can resume large downloads like huge demos etc . As i cannot download continously and my connection gets broken frequently and its too slow .by having DAP , i can download many huge games and softwares ( yes it takes days sometimes ) .but it does has really sticks to its words ( to a bit ) to download faster.
Cons
lots of ads . if system is working slow then it may show error and saying that server disconnected it !

"Newest technology"
Version: Download Accelerator Plus 8
Pros
The program is a traditoinal one, and has attained a famous position among downladers. Easy, reliable, friendly interface, although it may be visually polluted/fancy.
Cons
DAP's rival, Gigaget (see it at the product's page: "gigaget" + ".com" all together) is the next generation download manager which utilizes cutting-edge Net Grid technology that improves your download speed by 7-10 times. This feature is lacking in DAP, and besides, DAP is adware. DAP's rivals are increasing, with next-generation capabilities besides being totally free. Antoher fine features of this DAP's rival is the Intelligent Disk Cache system which protects your hard disk from high-speed download; major streaming protocol support, including MMS/RTSP/Flash; Import/export download list, easy to share with friends. No adwares. No reminders. After trying Gigaget, my review (pros/cons) is mainly concerned with this issue: having Gigaget in mind as the pattern of downloader manager to be compared against.

"Highly overrated, Slowed down mydownloads by 40%"
Version: Download Accelerator Plus 8
Pros
The mirror sites thing may be a good deal, but when it slows down the download it's junk.
Cons
After trying 5 different download sites and using DAP vs std windows download on identical programs, same time frame, within 30 minutes, every download was 35 to 50% slower with DAP. My next move Delete it from my computer..

"Too much of connecting to their own server"
Version: Download Accelerator Plus 8
Pros
FTP connections
Cons
DAP has to connect to their servers and stuff, and there will be some pop-ups.The acceleration is also not very good. When i uninstall, i also dislike the fact that DAP connects to client.speedbit.com
Few programs that i have installed have given me pop-ups(liking to a small window where users must click no thanks to continue and also another one which contains a feedback form) and fewer will keep connecting to their own servers(except anti-virus/anti-spyware softwares which I understand). I have tried to block DAP from connecting to their servers when uninstalling, but DAP will only freeze the uninstalling of the program.
