Version: Download Accelerator Plus 7.4
"Ugh every new version gets worse"
Pros: This product used to work nicely and the banner ads in the client were bearable.
Cons: This latest version is bloatware. Trying to install this thing cut my whole Internet connection out as it tries to pre-configure itself with your firewall. In addition it does install adware!!! Don't bother with this as you can get the same thing for free from sourceforge, its called truedownloader.
