Review Summary
Download Accelerator & Manager offers multi-threaded download acceleration that works well on non-throttling servers, with a simple and lightweight UI free of ads. However, users report issues like non-functional control buttons, occasional file corruption on resume, limited UI features, difficulty locating downloaded files, and ineffectiveness on servers that throttle connections, limiting the overall acceleration impact. Despite these drawbacks, it remains a useful basic tool for improving download speeds under certain conditions.
