WinDownload 2.7 Readme I designed WinDownload out of necessity! I was surfing at home, connected to a 28.8k line and everytime I downloaded a file, my browsing speed dropped to UNACCEPTABLE. I started bookmarking the pages with files I wanted to download and downloading all of them later when I was finished surfing. This was a nightmare to clean up after, so I designed WinDownload. WinDownload is a 32 bit, multi-thread application which can maximize bandwidth on any size pipe. I've filled up my T1 at work!
