i tot its only in my case that its not really working (because IM thingking that my place is in the a$$ of the world)

this what i got before 2-3months ago

*Using Windows Standard dl'd rate is 72kbps to 80kbps
*Using a P2P program (when at that time i dont know DAP and others same PROG) my dl'd rate is 72kbps to 80kbps
*Using DAP (latest version) dl'd rate is 72kbps to 80kbps
*Using torrent dl'd rate is 72kbps to 80kbps

in my case nothing change
since that time that i noticed nothing increase from using DAP
i take out in my pcDownload accelerators can never push more information through a link that it will take. If you are downloading lots of executables, jpegs, or other things that can't be further compressed, from fast servers, you will see no speed improvement at all when using a download accelerator. In fact it might make things worse.It probably make the downloading speed to the max so if your broadband are 55kbps then the accerator will probably make the download no more higher than 55kbps but instead keeping the download at 55kbps at all time.
But i dont see the point of using it because it is a piece of junk. Anit Rob

but they are making business
poor cunsumer DAP works by finding a different location of the file you are downloading.
For example:
I want to download ts2.exe from www.thesims2.com .
www.thesims2.com is a slow server.
I open DAP.
DAP slowly crawls a database looking for another location of ts2.exe with the same info.
DAP finds it. It takes over the download, and begins to download it from the faster location.

Sometimes, its questionable if it makes it go faster or not. It might take LONGER to FIND a different location then to download the file itself.

Some of the download accelerators work, and some don't. And that's that.
