Jonathan, if you notice that your download managers make a big difference it’s likely you need to tune your TCP stack in your device. If you have a high bandwidth fiber connection, especially one with the same up and down channel you should expand your window size. There are good calculations for figuring out window size based on bandwidth available. Other things like retransmission intervals, memory and buffer sizes and a big one is TCP connection count. Many windows machines had this number limited to 10, I would suggest increasing it to 512 or more. Just something to consider.
