Download Managers

Make no mistake, to a small server such as this, download managers are evil. If you have a broadband internet connection, please uninstall all trace of download managers. You don't need them. If you are still on a 56k connection, then I suppose you don't have much choice. But broadband is another story. Simultaneously downloading multiple, large files using a download manager can soak up all bandwidth resources on the server and thereby deny access to other visitors. Please do the right thing. Broadband eliminates the need for download managers. Please don't use them.
