Downloading faster?

What about the advantage that download managers are able to download faster (usually) than web browsers, or at least maintain a consistant download speed (and at the max bandwidth of your connection), through the use of multiple connections to the server and segmenting the file? (Theboywonder 08:23, 24 October 2005 (UTC))[reply]

Well, my experience has been that a few servers detect that and cut you off totally. It pays to watch each new connection to be sure it's not going to get choked, before you move on to other business.

To me, the really important benefit is resumable downloads. Without that, it doesn't matter how fast your connection is if you can't complete the task!

Look at the history - you can go back to the December or November version of the page. Rich Farmbrough, 13:07, 10 May 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Merger proposal

I see a flag at the top of Download manager and Download acceleration saying:

"It has been suggested that Download acceleration be merged into this article or section. (Discuss) Proposed since January 2012."

The Discuss link on both notices leads to the top of this Talk page, but I saw (in April 2012) no merger discussion here, not even the original January proposal. Why? Anyway, I support the merger of the two articles here, as Download Acceleration is a stub whose content can be completely and appropriately covered within Download Manager. Egmonster (talk) 02:21, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support. You don't see a discussion here because apparently these articles do not have many visitors. Fleet Command (talk) 06:20, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Download Queing

I think several sections on the other advantages of download managers should be added. One nifty feature is download queing. If you have multiple files downloading you can limit them to one or two at the time so you can access the first files in the queue while the later ones are downloading — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vmaldia (talk • contribs) 08:39, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Stub template at the right/wrong place?

In: Wikipedia:Stub#How_to_mark_an_article_as_a_stub it says:
"Per the Manual of Style, the stub template is placed at the end of the article, after: the External links section, any navigation templates, and the category tags, so that the stub category will appear after all article content."
However in the article "Download manager" the stub-template appears before the categories-box, allthough, in the sourcecode, the stub template is already in the last line.

I wanted to correct this, and looked it up in the source code, but there I seem to not understand something:
In the article the categories-box contains three fields and terms, but in the source code the term "Computing stubs" seems to be missing. It seems that some hidden automatism is going on there.

Could some one please explain this? Steue (talk) 04:24, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
