Despite its claim to be the world's leading download manager, previous versions of Download Accelerator Plus have been saddled with adware, making an otherwise decent program difficult to recommend. Happily, although the free edition still flashes banner ads at you, it has been certified free of spyware by Lavasoft, Norton and Microsoft so you can use it without due concern. Features include an Always Resume tool for automatically picking up dropped downloads, a simple Scheduler and the useful ability to preview media files and read reviews of software prior to download.

Verdict
Upgrading to the Premium version for £17 eliminates ads and offers even faster acceleration from up to 10 connections.
