Don't use this type of software. By using it you place a much greater burden on the server that you're downloading from, and usually not speeding up your requests at all.

As most download services are providing the service free of charge, it's best to respect the service by not abusing the services they offer. Abuse of services like this is the best way to make them disappear as the admins get sick of dealing with it.
