Hey Bill,
Have you heard of this? I think it’s a good invention. Can you tell your readers what advantages this program offer if there is any?:
Internet Download Manager has a smart download logic accelerator that features intelligent dynamic file segmentation and safe multipart downloading technology to accelerate your downloads. Unlike other download accelerators and managers that segment files before downloading starts, Internet Download Manager segments downloaded files dynamically during download process. Internet Download Manager reuses available connections without additional connect and login stages to achieve better acceleration performance.

Hey Pochp,
I generally don’t review, or comment on, commercial software such as this. However, I will say that unless one downloads all day and all night, software such as this is virtually useless. Benchmarking tests have no application in terms of how humans experience time. Can you feel the difference between 240 ms and 480 ms? Of course not. Yet, one is twice as fast as the other – but so what?

Ok Bill.
Thanks for advising us it’s useless.
