Native downloader with Internet Explorer or FireFox is not fast enough. That's really annoying.Most downloaders in the market use multiple threads/port-connections to download a single file over the Internet.
For example :
When you right click on a link and click "Save Target As... " , Browser starts to download the file serially like water flowing in a single pipe connection. But with the downloader tools , they initiate multiple connections trying to download the file in parts and then assemble those parts on your machine.
Here's a simple image explaining this process :
As you can see , the downloader started multiple connections (9 connections in this case) to download a single file . This mechanism speeds up your downloads , utilizes the bandwidth of your Internet connection to its maximum speed , saves time and most important brings a smile to your face when you see that a file of 12 MB which use to take 5 minutes to download is now being downloaded in less than a minute or to be specific say 45 seconds. COOL :)
