Mac70 Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I was just wondering if this would speed up torrent downloads too? My connection just aint fast enough.Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Shroud Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 If this program is being advertised as a BitComet accelerator then it’s a fake loaded with spyware. Those things never work either. The only real ways to speed up your download speed are to fine tune the settings for your computer and/or get a faster connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kluelos Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 If it's a general bittorrent accelerator, likewise. It's a scam which does nothing for your speed. If it's a generic download accelerator, it will not affect bittorrent downloads at all, though it may improve normal downloads. It does that by making multiple connections to the download site, but many sites frown upon or outright ban such. Though, again, nothing to do with bittorrent.

waffleicious Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Actually, GetRight Download Manager just released a new version which lets it download and accelerate regular files along with torrent files, but if you used that, you wouldnt be using BitComet at all :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
