Which download manager gives the fastest speeds?

I was never to huge into torrenting, but if I recall correctly HBO content was a big no-no .... any of their content was a basic guarantee you get a little 4 x 4 post card telling you to stop torrenting,

Send a 4 x 4 post card to them, telling them to stop torrenting as well. I bet they do.

Anyhow, ye HBO is very active in hunting down. They also got me, wrongly.
 
main reason why I need a download manager is that I live in a region that has low internet speeds.
 
Been using FDM for a while. Pretty clean interface and the speeds I get are max speeds for my connection, on most sites that is.

But, if you're not downloading often from file hosters and such, in built browser download mangers are the way to go. I only started using FDM because Chrome could not restart stopped downloads before.
 
A friend uses this and goes about blabbing about it always
Why not? It's free, open-source and works with and accelerates nearly everything.

You can even do stuff like feed it a youtube playlist or an instagram page and it'll build a list of all the pictures/videos in that container so you can leech everything.
 
You also need to thing about some places you download online from has a limit of total speed to u and others can handle like 1mbit on one connection and if u open like 5 connection to a site which is usually max they you can get a greater overall download speed but it doesn't always work.

I tried this back in the Windows XP days using FlashGet.
 
Only ISP's in the third world.
Hard truth ISPs in most African countries are capped sadly.:(
Not to even start about the snail slow speeds they offer.
 
Most isps have a maximum download per month limit and also tend to look for torrents etc.

I'm glad we don't have any download limits in my country.
Mobile LTE internet is another story though....
