| Platinum Member | i don't understand the use of these download managers claiming that they increase the download speed by breaking the download into many connections. What will happen is that the individual parts will be downloaded at a lower speed, all the individual speeds added up to be your internet plan speed... IMO for pausing and resuming ff's default manager is enough. |

Your ISP may be allowing 2 mbps (256 KB/s) but the source server could be far off and busier than usual resulting in a serial speed of 60 KB/s. By opening multiple connections @ 60 KB/s, the download manager optimizes the connection and downloads the file faster. I have seen this happening.
