Advice

Are there any download accelerators out there that are free of ad/spyware, easy to uninstall if need be, and actually work?

hello seansea, there are internal OS tweaks and programs that will apply a tweak for you. They MAY increase your download speed. I can provide some links to web pages if you want. i would stay away from so called programs that will "speedup, boost, increase, optimize" etc., spyware free or not they most likely dont do what they claim.

Thanks for replying to my post. It would be great if you could send me some links to check out.
