1.1 Purpose
Download speeds are very often far from their theoretical maximums. This can be due to general congestion of the Internet but often it is because servers will try and share bandwidth between clients. By using up to 32 simultaneous connections Speed Download helps overcome this limitation. All downloads are resumable and a queue system that supports schedules and scripting allows for efficient use of online time.1.2 Requirements
Speed Download requires any Power Macintosh or compatible, with Mac OS 8.1 or higher. The amount of memory required will vary with the number of simultaneous connections and downloads you use. Obviously you will also require a connection to the Internet.1.3 Updates
The latest version of Speed Download is always available here.
Before reporting a bug, please check that you are using the latest version of Speed Download.
