Anyone who has used the Internet has downloaded a file, even if they may not have been aware. However, if you do download files on a regular basis, whether for work or in your own time, you will recognise the importance of not only the speed of downloads, but a reliable connection. A decent download manager will help you maintain speed and connection as well as give you more control over bandwidth and even accelerate your downloads. One problem with some managers though is that they can be a bit bulky, when all you really need is a simple, easy-to-use application. 23 Jul 2008
