Dap

Most popular is Download Accelerator Plus. I am very happy with it. It is great for me. And also if you are using proxy server you must set this also in DAP. I was using GetRight before but I am happier with DAP. Try it

If I can comment...

A lot of these programs are useless unless:

1) You have a dual-WAN router (a Router with 2 or more Internet connections)
2) The Site your downloading from has lower upload bandwidth than your download speed.
3) Rarely, but still a possibility, the Site your downloading from throttles each individual upload connection at a rate less than your Internet connection's capacity.
