Maybe the it was downloading the definitions which I mistook for the whole thing.

Anyways, the direct download method is out of question because you need to take the Windows Authenticity test ( or whatever it is called ) before you can download it.

Default I$ Micro$oft brieved or what??

Download Accelerator Plu$ 7.4 i$ $pyware and adware free according to http://www.Downloadaccelerator.com. It ha$ al$o $hown a li$t of Anti-$pyware$ which do not $how Download Accelerator a$ a $pyware threat. Thi$ li$t al$o include$ 'Ad-Aware $E' (which never $howed DAP a$ a threat), 'Yahoo! Toolbar' and the late$t $en$ation on $pyware hunting, 'Micro$oft Anti$pyware (Beta)' with real-time protection.

$o, I downloaded DAP 7.4 and a$ it had $aid, M$-Anti$pyware did not block it$ in$tallation nor $howed it a$ a threat on deep $can. But then I found that DAP $till $how$ ad$ in the unregi$tered ver$ion, $lowing down my connection.

Then i unin$talled it becau$e i don't want to buy a download manager when i have heck of a LOT better option$ for FREE, 'Leechget' and 'FreshDownload' being two example$ which can download fa$ter than DAP'$ regi$tered ver$ion. I know thi$ becau$e i have te$ted DAP with the help of rever$e engineered Dap.exe, which act$ a$ if i have a DAP premium licen$e. The$e are available for free in crack $ite$ but are not recommended from legal point of view.

Then i in$talled Fla$hget 1.65 which $how$ ad$ when un-regi$tered (like DAP doe$), tho$e ad$ are $imilar to DAP'$. But M$-Anti$pyware $how$ Fla$hget a$ an Adware threat. Why the hell i$ thi$? I$ M$ brieved by DAP or what? Or what doe$ Fla$hget do a$ a $pyware or adware that DAP doe$n't? I would love to know the an$wer$.

I per$onally hate $uch partiality, not becau$e i L0VE Fla$hget nor am a Fla$hget $ale$man, but becau$e DAP i$ a ADWARE, no matter what ver$ion, let it be 5.4 or 7.4, irre$pective of Fla$hget$ exi$tence, and that$ the truth that DAP can't change until people are alive. $ay it to donkey$ who may believe that DAP i$ adware free, of cour$e, until they run it on their PC$.

Now, I'm worried, not becau$e i now know that DAP 7.4 i$ an adware but becau$e i now know that $pywarehunter$, $uch a$ M$-Anti$pyware, allow exception$ $uch a$ DAP.

DAP $uck$, not only becau$e it made me a donkey but al$o becau$e it i$ a LIAR, and $o doe$ M$-Anti$pyware and all others, until they $how DAP a$ a threat or $top $howing Fla$hget a$ a threat. I don't under$tand why $uch an e$teemed company would be brieved or convinced by DAP. I will certainly like to know what DAP offered to M$, i$ it a banner ad about M$ on DAP'$ main window, lol.
I hope to $ee improvement$ in M$-Anti$pyware (Beta). And i reque$t Download Accelerator Plu$ to be renamed a$ Download Decelerator Minu$, until it i$ regi$tered. Thi$ will prove to be a better de$criptive name for DAP unregistered ver$ion.

I'm $orry if i've written all the$e without proper knowlwdge. If anyone know$ better, plea$e let me know.

Getright came only because you yourself started talking about download accelerators, of which Getright is one. Get your facts straight.

The issue of my comment was that M$_antispy shows Flashget as a threat and does not show DAP as one, but both are until they are registered.
I doubt if DAP has brieved M$ and thats it.
And plz don't tell me that Getright is a download accelerator. T think i know about download accelerators a lot more than u do and i use Leechget which gives me 5-10Kbps in a 35-40 K connection.
Thanks
