Accelerating a file allows GetRight to
download different parts of the same file at the same time. For example,
GetRight would start at the beginning of the file from server A, and at the
middle of the file from server B. Each half of the completed file would come
from a different server!
Depending on your Internet connection, this can dramatically improve the
download speed. GetRight allows up to ten Segments, so with the right
conditions, downloads can be up to ten times as fast as regular downloading!
The results of Accelerated downloading will vary depending on your Internet
connection, and a variety of other factors. But if you are not reaching the
maximum possible download speed for your Internet connection, this acceleration
can really help a lot.
To
tell GetRight to use Acceleration when downloading a file, press the Options
button when a file is downloading, and pick the "Accelerate Downloading" item in
the menu, then the number of Segments to use!
It does limit to four connections for each server, so to get to the maximum
of 10, you will need some Mirrors too.
You can even set GetRight to Accelerate automatially. On the configuration
window shown above, the "Downloads--Accelerate" page has several choices to
speed up your downloads!
