Bywifi for Windows

User Reviews

• Waste of time.

  slumberparty121212October 22, 2012

  Pros

  I see no pros.

  Cons

  I tried to play Starcraft II after installing this, and Starcraft would not open saying it could not connect to the internet. I clicked my WebBrowser Chrome and the internet was working properly. As soon as I uninstalled Bywifi, Starcraft worked again.

  Summary

  After installing Bywifi, another program could not connect to the internet. WTF? Why would you want anything on your computer that makes other programs not work properly. I'll be looking for another Freeware program that lets you download streaming videos. Anyone know of any reliable ones??

• Great speed pretty reliable speedbit killer

  Bigoz1986January 23, 2012

  Pros

  Its fast even on 1080p content. Quick installation and no third party software trials or toolbars. Its totally free!!!!!

  Cons

  Once in a while it needs restarting after maybe 200 or more videos. Other than that nothing else.

  Summary

  Overall for the past year I have been very happy with it and have installed it on friends and neighbors computers with virtually no glitches. As for the other negative reviews you guys better check you security software because I am pretty sure it sucks(norton,mcafee,LOL avg). I have installed this software in at least 80 computers and all of them had either Avira,avast,kaspersky,bitdefender or vipre. And don't forget it's totally free!!!!! compared to speedbits free version which only works half the time(sometimes less than that} and if you want the other half to work guess what you have to pay(a $49 annual I repeat annual fee to start} I prefer free and reliable all year around dont you?

  shadow6600October 26, 2011

  Pros

  I have no pros for this program

  Does not accelerate at all.

  This used to be the best accelerator out there but since the original site was taken down, the program itself stop working. Don't bother to download.

• Practically a virus!

  premchop25December 18, 2010

  Pros

  None what soever!

  Cons

  A serious threat to your online security

  Summary

  Windows 7 ultimate 64bit ..PCTools Threatfire WARNS - the program actually exploits ports and changes key security settings! My browsers stopped working at all.

• complete syware

  brainsciNovember 29, 2010

  Pros

  It works as it should, but ...

  Cons

  It opens a page that says it will scan your computer for you.

  Summary

  This is an example of a good software gone bad. Now, it's ad-supported, and the ads make it harder to use. If you have the older version, don't upgrade.

• A worthy competitor to Speedbit video accelertor

  Spartan-047August 10, 2010

  Pros

  +Does everything that Speedbit Video accelerator does- downloads videos to local hard disk via multiple connections,as such, you can view them even when offline. Perfect for Youtube, me thinks! + ALSO ACCELERATES HD! :D

  Cons

  -Slow to startup and shutdown application. -Must start application BEFORE starting Firefox. not sure if you need to do so with IE/Chrome though...therefore a convenience issue there, as you have to remember this if you want your vids accelerated

  Summary

  One criticism i didn't manage to fit into the cons section, is that it doesn't support DivX Web Player video accelerating (version 2.7.1, that is). DivX requires a hefty broadband connecton, as even with DivX video encoding compresses larger, high quality video files, the videos are still "too" big, and can take a lot of time to stream without ByWifi. All in all, bywifi is a no-nonsense video accelerating. Does the job efficiently with little fuss. I wholly and fully reccommend this to everyone with broadband internet!

  moziymatthewMarch 22, 2010

  Pros

  Works with every web browser I have used it on so far (IE8, Fire Fox 3.6, Google Chrome, Slim Web Browser)

  Cons

  None really. Could be a little fast but so could everything.

  Summary

  Works Great. Allows full download also. Has animation to let you know it's working, and works great with various web browsers

• possible dangerous software

  yarnieNovember 30, 2009

  Pros

  none threatfire tags it as malware

  Cons

  very suspect software and needs to be looked into by cnet

  Summary

  like i said threatfire blocked it from changing all my browser and security and personell security settings so cnet need to look into this file with threatfire and see what its saying what its blocked and what it was attemting to do
