I was wondering if people still use download accelerators. Reason for asking is that I am working from China and 99% of the time I use a VPN. The connection is flaky most of the time and when downloading large files, a single hiccup (TCP reset) or when changing VPN locations is enough to break the download. I remember back in the days of dialup (I feel like this some days) you could pause a download and resume it effortlessly using a third party accelerators. A quick google search shows many dodgy chrome plugins or programs.. Any recommendations for Linux, Mac?
