Have You Encounter Any Problem Downloading Software?Have you ever spent hours or minutes to download a file only to have some error occur at the last minute? Isn't it irritating that you must restart the entire download and re-download the entire file? In this section we'll review some of the best software available and tips to avoid them. Improving Transfer SpeedIt depends on four things to determine how quickly you receive the file - The speed of your internet connection, how busy the server is, where the server is and how much traffic is on the Internet. Naturally, the faster your connection, the more quickly you can download files. All Internet service providers now provide broadband or Direct Service Line (DSL) services in addition to dial-up services. You should consider upgrading to a DSL connection if you have only dial-up access. You can check with friends around your area. If their modems are capable of faster connection but cannot connect faster then 512 Kbps, then it is unlikely that yours will either. There is no sense investing in a 4 Mbps modem if the your cable line won't support such speed. If you have trouble downloading large file or the download link does not support download accelerators or managers, you should try downloading it during off-peak hours. Off-peak hours are usually early in the morning before 7AM or at night after 10PM during weekdays. Utilities for Scheduling DownloadsThe following are some of the recommended programs that can reduce your frustration and problems for downloading.
