Reviewed by: CNET Staff on February 27, 2009
Though this download manager is free, using it will cost you. Free Download Accelerator does help speed up multiple-program downloads, but the program design and lack of features make it a middling choice among many other freeware options. The program interface is plastered with banner ads and can't be resized. What's more, every time you start a download, a small dialog window pops up--which we found annoying while testing multiple downloads. Unlike other programs, Free Download Accelerator doesn't work with your browser but requires you to transfer file links to a Clipboard. Automation options are few; the only feature we found is that the program shuts itself down after completing its scheduled downloads. Overall, this is only a basic program among many other useful freeware options in the market.
