Are download boosters any good ?

Anyone here tried :

It looks good, but would like to get others opinions on it if possible.

My d/loads do seem slow, I'm on adsl, but know that it relates to the speed of the person who has the file.

AFAIK, they're pretty much crap

Many thanks for the info and links - it's appreciated.

Unless anyone else here has any different ideas on the subject, I'll give it a miss.

Downloads normally depend upon your sources, unless your ISP is shaping your p2p bandwidth & putting it in a different tier to browsing. So re-searching & using the Get More Results option will/should help. Right-click the search result tab to find Get more results option.
