Default Download Accelrator Plus : A must have


Here is my review for world known DAP

The newest DAP is out and a must have for all downloaders. Cool and fast. Whats new :-

Look:-
Yeah I like DAP for its easy interface and cool look. But its look haven't changed much.
Interface is easy to learn for newbies.
I think the look of this D/M is better than Flash Get.

File Rating :-
While downloading a file you can see its rating, alternate links and much more information.

Speed :- Yo! Faster than a rocket. Even in my 56 kbps connection.(Download speed 7 kbps in night)
___________________________________
Cons:- This software is like trasure for me but have cons.
1.) Adware in Free version.
2.) No skin support in free version.
3.) Very Expensive!!!

Thats all. I am waiting for yor comments.

I used Download Accelerator for 7 years. Till I discovered Free Download Manager.

Now, Download Accelerator is in the bin, where it belongs.

Get FDM here - http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/

yes saurav the "free"version of dap has ad-ware not "SPYWARE".
DAP USED TO CONTAIN SPYWARE IN THE EARLIER VERSIONS. BUT THE LATEST, ACTUALLY ALL BUILT ON 7.XX do no more contain spyware.
yes its Ad-ware coz its free, not spyware.

Even Free Download Manager does an excellent Job. Fresh Download is also worth trying - its latest version even compatible with Opera and Netscape 8.

Both are freeware.

Its suitable if u dont have 100's or more files to d/l at the same time. No spyware and ad free.

U see.... this discussion is gettin repetitive...

Ashwin Saxena (u did prove to b an Analogue Novice)
Where r u from maaan.... DAP was one of the most used downloaders from a loooooooooooooonnnnnnnngggggggggggggg time....
I can almost say that it is now seldom used as it has some drawbacks... spyware...

But i say... Go with FlashGet... It is da best.

And somebody please lock this thread... I'm tired of sayin FlashGet is better than DAP

But freewares r in great demand. One of them is Free Download Manager(FDM). Even in DIGIT CD's and DVD's, FDM is provided in Essential section. What more do u want??? As said by Sneha,it makes ur PC slow becoz of the highee graphics n some Advance features.

Havent you all read my review. I clearly said that DAP has adwares (No spywares). Cant you all read.
I have a full registered version.
So if you want the best downloader than spend few buck mates.
