The SpeedDownloader software is marketed as "The best Download Manager" via Speedownloader.com/index.html. The SpeedDownloader software is stated to be a product of a company named D-limit Soft, which does not appear to be covered in publications online. The SpeedDownloader by D-limit Soft is said to enable users to download documents from remote servers with support for MHT(Multi-server Hyper-threading Transportation), HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and FTP (File Transfer Protocol). Moreover, users are suggested that SpeedDownloader optimizes their system resources, as well as increases the speed and stability of the download task. The SpeedDownloader program appears to support pausing downloads and allows users to explore panels where they can track finished ongoing and pending download tasks. That may sound interesting to some users, but you should note that SpeedDownloader is an ad-supported software, which may redirect you to promotional offers, video commercials, and show banners on the main program interface.

The technologies said to be incorporated in SpeedDownloader have been an essential part of browsers like Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera for years. The MHT, FTP, and HHTP protocols are not exclusive to SpeedDownloader. There is no evidence that SpeedDownloader optimizes the system resources and the download speed in the app does not appear to surpass the rates offered with the built-in download managers in Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera. SpeedDownloader provides an easy to use interface, an animated chart to track the download speed and a search box that can be used to find files among the download tasks. Computer users should take into consideration that SpeedDownloader can't be downloaded from Speedownloader.com/index.html since the link does not work. You may be able to acquire the installer from a free software bundle on the Internet. There are no contact details provided at Speedownloader.com/index.html, and D-limit Soft does not provide updates to SpeedDownloader in any form. The SpeedDownloader software is deemed as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that might redirect users to promotional materials and help them download files from the Internet with speeds that every other browser supports out of the box. PC users that do not welcome the services of SpeedDownloader and its redirects may want to use a credible anti-spyware tool to delete it and erase the tracking cookies it may have downloaded.
