O.P. Firefox download accelerator
Is there any real working addon for firefox that is not a virus that speeds up your downloads in your download manager?

Dta (DownThemAll) is a separate Download Manager Extension, but still does a great job.

For speeding up Firefox in general I suggest FasterFox, FasterFox tweaks some configuration keys to allow better use of bandwidth, it can be done manually too, by going to about:config and knowing which keys to change, but it's a nice and easy front end for it.

RE: Firefox download accelerator
DownThemAll works like normal Download Accelerators by downloading multiple pieces of the file at once.

However most servers nowadays have such big upload lines that you will max out your line without the accelerator already.

Also some servers do now allow multi-part downloading and will cause the download accelerator to not function properly and download at normal speed.

RE: Firefox download accelerator
I suggest firetune over fasterfox.

Fasterfox fucked a few things up and really slowed down rather than sped up :(

I think we may have a new king in town: http://www.orbitdownloader.com

p.s. there is no spyware/adware/malware in this program as some people think.
