    "Do not download. The extra speed does not make up for the major problems."

    Version: Star Downloader Free 1.45

    Cons

    After I downloaded Star I added a second user to my computer. The second user could not search in our browser. After hours of research we found that Star changed a setting that caused our browser to give a blank screen and not the search results. We unchecked the box and now were able to search. It downloads some things but sometimes does not. I tried to uninstall it and got a message that I could not because a file was missing. The Star help screen said to re-install Star and then uninstall it. Problem is when I try to downlord Star I get a message that the file can not be found. So great, it will not download itself. Do not put yourself through this grief. Do not download the free version of Star Downloader.

    "Good, but not always loads faster"

    Version: Star Downloader Free 1.45

    Pros

    Splits files into segments, allowing them to download simultaneously, which does save time. It's great if you've only come online to download one file.

    Cons

    If you have a slow internet connection, then it's definately worth a go. But if you're on an already fast connection, then you won't notice the difference much. It's still worth a try though.
