[QUOTE="Jem, post: 254804, member: 19842"] I find the download manager great for limiting the speed of my downloads so as my pipe doesn't become clogged up - this means I can still surf / play games / whatever while large files are being downloaded. There's meant to be speed benefits from using multiple connections to the same server but I've rarely noticed any difference. Oh yeah and they are especially useful if you happen to be on one of the useless ISPs that "encourage" you to download outside of peak hours... :rolleyes: I'm sure there must be other advantages... though I can't think of any at the moment :cool: [/QUOTE]
