Increased download speeds are the program's bread and butter, speeding up downloads by almost 200 percent in most cases! (its true but depends on the server and location of the hosting site). Besides splitting files into smaller pieces, it automatically seeks faster mirrors. It also can get a file simultaneously from several sites, which is useful if a particular site limits the download speed.
During installation, Download Accelerator Plus will ask for your e-mail address in hopes of sending you special offers, but you don't actually need to submit any information. Just click next and ignore the special offers offered to u. Although the program is free, the trade-off is the "information panel" that displays software advertisements. Its not a nuisance btw. DAP also installs a handy toolbar in Internet Explorer and integrates with Firefox (which I think quite useful). In Firefox, when u click to download a file, it will pop up a window and asks you whether you want the download being handled by DAP or the default.
Other useful tools include the ability to resume interrupted downloads, log on to protected sites, and schedule downloads at low traffic times for faster downloading. The pay version allows you to resume all downloads, whether a server supports it or not.
