    Version: Download Direct 1.5

    Pros

    the only good thing is that it has a scheduler

    "Very Deceptive. Con job"

    January 1, 2009  |   By leet777

    Version: Download Direct 1.2

    Pros

    Looks great. One of the nicest looking and easiest to use DL managers I've seen. Straight forward and very easy to use.

    Cons

    The speed it tells you it's downloading files at is no where near the actual kb/s dl speed. In fact, the so called download speed is at times double of my connection speed. lol

    Summary

    As I said, what this program tells you it downloads at, and what it actually DOES download at are very different! It took me 3 hours to DL 180mb (2 files) on a 1.5MB connection yet the program download speed indicator averaged 1000 to 2000KB/s lol. NOT. I am just finishing a 61mb download and it's taking forever. It took 2 mins just to download 1%. Id say the speed is averaging around 5kb/s, 10kb/ maximum. Rubbish. Shame..because everything else is great but with downloads being at dialup speed, I just wouldn't ever use it again.
    If it gave a true speed indication, fair enough but to have it state it's downloading at 2000kb/s when it's obviously not, that just angers me. No need for the deception.
    As soon as it finishes downloading the current file (which is only 61mb's but I estimate it'll take about another 3/4 hour at least to finish at this rate

    "Awesome DL manager"

    October 17, 2008  |   By paulism
