Because what happens when you have to shut down Windows, the whole progress of the download is lost, and sometimes Download managers can speed up the process.

TBH they don't relay work.

If you download a file you are limited by your line speed nower days and that server's speed. If you are downloading small files it takes longer for a DLM to start that it would just to download it.

20MB file= Gateway 20min download.

20MB file= FileHippo 5min download.

My speed usually stays the same between 8mb-15mb down.

Also depends how far away the server is.
