![]() And then to have this exact test replicated under different internet speed conditions, say at 6 Mbps, 20 Mbps and 50 Mbps. I would love to see a thorough download speed test, to see how many seconds difference it actually makes to download the same 500Mb file: both with and without a download manager. Could it be that these download managers only have some effect when your physical network allows for high speeds?īut in that case, if you already have high-speed big-city internet, why would you still need some marginal kind of further speed-up? Do those few seconds you may gain in download time justify burdening your browser with yet another extension? As I said, I don’t quite get the point. Now maybe this lack of effect has something to do with me living in a place where truly high internet speeds are not available anyway (the max speed that providers can deliver in my village is just over 6 Mbps). In the past I’ve tried some for myself, but I never noticed much download speed difference. To be honest, I’ve never fully understood the point of “download manager” extensions like this. The most pressing matters right now are to fix the missing information (speed, time left) in the UI, and to add global controls to modify the number of download threads and other parameters using an options menu.Īll in all though this is something that is worth keeping an eye on to see how it develops. It seems to work well already especially when it comes to large downloads and if that is your main priority, may be worth testing it on your system. The add-on is clearly a work in progress. Turbo Download Manager offers no options page currently to modify the number of threads or other parameters for all downloads initiated through Firefox's save dialog. There you find options to change the number of available threads, define the thread timeout and to set download links and referring pages. Some Web Servers might not support multiple connections.While it displays the download progress in percent and a progress bar, it is not listing speed and time left information currently even though those are listed in the interface.Įach download can be paused or stopped using the controls displayed on the right, and there is a search available to filter results which may be useful if you run lots of downloads in Firefox throughout the day.ĭownloads can be run directly from the interface as well without going through Firefox's save dialog first. TDM will NOT increase your download speed beyond the maximum bandwidth provided by your Internet Provider or the maximum speed provided by the server you're downloading from.
