At least one reviewer apparently hasn't the foggiest idea of what HiDownload is all about. It is mainly for recording streaming audio and video (e.g., MP3s and WMAs, etc.), which has very little to do with the average "download accelerator". If you don't know that you need it for this purpose, then you probably don't. It works well for me, though some of the buttons and operation are not as intuitive as they should be. They need to work on the interface more.

There are plenty of other FREE Download(accelerators) out there. Why waste $40 for something like this? It just isn't worth it. I don't want to give it a 1 just because it's Shareware, developers put time and effort into it, but there are WAY better programs than this.

For downloading music videos this is great, with the URL Helper i have yet to find a better method.

3 is being generous, as it works judging by what people say. I gave up after it became apparent that I couldn't use it at all without registering, not even for a trial. Also URL Helper is not a feature but something extra you have to pay for, plus it didn't seem much use to me as 'select adapter' didn't offer me anything which appeared to be my internet connection. It gets 3 though as I don't know any other simple way to get rtsp etc - the excellent freedownloadmanager certainly doesn't do it.

The program is relatively simple and uncluttered. I gave it four stars because it does what it says and is a light download. I would give this program a five if it had a smaller memory footprint (e.g. less than 8MB).
