Speedbit Video Downloader is normally an excellent piece of kit for downloading flash videos to your hard drive but it's not without its faults. My main gripe is that whilst downloading some video files the connection seems to be lost before the download is complete, and although this happens only on the odd ocasion it is rather annoying when it does. You get to something like 75% and it doesn't download any more; fortunately I manage to resist the temptation to launch my computer equipment in anger.
The reason for this happening is that it primarily only downloads the file from one online location, and if the connection to that location is lost bang goes your download. When this happens please resist the urge to yank your hair out from the roots for I have a solution to our frustration.
It's called 'Download Accelerator Plus' (DAP for short) and of course it's absolutely free - you wouldn't expect anything else from me would you? So true to form I offer another awesome piece of totally free software to help you along.
It is a program that is provided by Speedbit and works in total harmony with their video downloader. Fortunately if you don't have Speedbit Video Downloader then no worries! Download Accelerator Plus works with or without it and has no vices about whether you have other Speedbit software installed or not.
DAP will speed up your downloads of anything to give you a download time of about one fifth of the time it takes to download without it. So if your download would normally take about 5 minutes then with DAP chances are it'll only take just 1 minute. Superfast downloads - cool!
It does it by downloading your file from multiple locations at once (average 5 to my experience). This way if you lose one connection you've still got 4 more for example, and because of the multiple loations it downloads your file much quicker.
That is the basic gist of it, and it does have a few other features too but I've yet to learn them all. One big advantage is it has a file checker built in so if the file is a bit dodgy it will tell you so.
As far as I'm concerned if you wish to download anything then Download Accelerator Plus is a no-brainer, a must have. Get it installed on your PC, you will love it!
