“Akamai Download Manager offers advantage of resume download in case of premature or pre-complete connection termination.” ?????
ADM wasting almost 5GB of my bandwidth (at 17c/MB) on failed Windows7 downloads says you’ve got to be joking!
Take a stroll around the web and you’ll find more complaints about ADM than compliments … numerous failure reports on Microsoft forums, and even on Adobe’s own forums.
Akamai Download Manager is seriously worthless!
