Are download managers actually useful? On paper they bring a lot of benefits to the table but on practice they simply don’t work. Nine times out of ten they just can’t get the file, and it seems like this is usually a server problem. And when they do work mirror links don’t, eliminating the speed gains. What is even the point?

@personinabox they were much more relevant when 56k modems were "fast"...

@adam They still could’ve been if they actually worked.

@personinabox I have no data points, as I haven't thought about it since I got gigabit fiber to my house. 🤣🤣
