So this is your program, right? Why not be honest about it from the get go? "Can anyone help me improve my download accelerator program?" or something, instead of being somewhat deceitful in promoting a product you know isn't great and is severely outdated.

Its not my program. I just put its source on GitHub and changed some minor things.
 
On a side note, it always weirds me out to see people like OP who are full members and can post threads but have like, ~50 posts because they joined GAF before "junior member" was even a thing.

I just looked at OP's profile and I'm kinda weirded out too. Maybe he tried posting this years ago but his Internet was so slow that this thread didn't show up until today.
 
This is so weird. I totally entered this thread expecting some sort of GAF horror story about this program... and instead I entered...

...The Twilight Zone.

It looks like you put it on SourceForge too, way back in at least 2010. Why such dedication to something that A. you (apparently) didn't create and B. has already been outclassed several times over by newer programs?

Its light-weight compared to those programs. I was wrong about it always crashing on files hosted on d-h.st. It didn't crash on the two I just downloaded.
 
You wouldn't download a car!

He also posted it on several other forums in 2010, we were not the first choice :(

Seriously, why are you so dedicated to this program if it isn't yours? When you search for the program you constantly pop up, and I am pretty sure you are the only review on the product that isn't 1 star.
 
This is the most OP has ever posted in almost 9 years of being a member.

Even better, the OP is an exact copy of threads he made on at least three different forums back in 2010.

(And I'm not even going all DetectiveGAF or anything here. Those all popped up within the first few pages of a Google search for ConnectFusion.)

The dedication to an outdated download accelerator just seems bizarre.
 
This is the strangest thread I've seen in years. Initially I was laughing at all of your responses and was going to post something saying as much but now it feels like we've entered an episode of The Outer Limits. So this guy has been a member here since 2005. Almost a decade ago. He has 69 posts to his name. And he just randomly advertises a program; a download accelerator no less which haven't been popular or even relevant since like 1998 for what reason exactly?

OP it's cool you're defending yourself in a calm and reasonable manner but it would even more graceful of you to just explain what's going on; something that to be honest you should have outlined clearly in your first post. Here's a question that should get us started. How precisely are you associated with this program?

If you're not associated with this program why are you promoting it?
 
I dunno why everyone is saying download accelerators aren't relevant....if you'll downloading large files via HTTP they're totally still relevant.

1. I'm just an end user of it.
2. I'm promoting it because it deserves its chance at being made into something more since the developers abandoned it. All great download managers had to start as basic ones. So, this one could be also be great with the right guys working on it.

The point is, Download mangers are not a thing anymore. It does not need its chance to be great, because it's mostly useless.
 
Maybe you could have posted that along with the op instead of just posting links? I'm not gonna download any link someone just gives me and doesn't explain.

I had to use a download accelerator during my deployment since the Wi-Fi out there was so shitty (20-30 minutes for a 5mb file), so they do have limited use still.

Okay, maybe for the small % of people that still use dial-up, but for the most part it's not a thing.

Maybe you should update the OP with that information, possibly asking others for their input into how to improve it or fix issues. As of now it seems to be confusing readers.

This man speaks the truth. From what I remember when I was using dial-up and 56k modems in my teens (circa something like 1998 or so) the entire point of download managers and/or accelerators was the resume download function since dial-up connections at the time that used phone lines were notorious for losing their connections which would therefore result in downloads being lost. This is how they even became popular and necessary in the first place.

Then broadband and faster connections happened and they faded away.
 
Is there a reason why you want to see this one in particular? If you wanted to use a download manager that's well featured you could try JDownloader. It automatically detects download links and can download them all at the same time.

This user reported that the resume function didn't work.

Zero3K just wants someone to work on this outdated program. Why can't people understand?
 
I was expecting a sarcastic OP railing on download accelerators.

I... I did not quite expect this.

I don't know what's going on.

Edit: So I just downloaded this program to give it a try. I was initially skeptical, but I was quickly won over. Guys, this is no joke. This thing works. Within 2 minutes, I was feeling the gains.

I'm quickly grew to 6'3", had my facial structure change into the handsomest man alive, a trillion US dollars mysteriously appeared in my back account, and a Tesla Model X drove itself into my garage. Best of all my penis is 12" long. Flaccid.

I... I literally just can't even right now. This must be a dream. Someone please wake me up.
