- For
- Windows users managing large or unreliable downloads
- Worth noticing
- Its examples show split downloads backing off to one connection when a host refuses them, rather than treating that limit as an error.
Field notes
The pricing section lists Free at $0, with faster split downloads for the first 10 GB each day, and Plus at $19.99 one time. Its illustrative interface shows an 18.4 GB archive using eight connections, while another example keeps a download to one connection when the source refuses splitting. The page also says mirrors are used only when the same file and a known SHA-256 hash are available.
