Download Options

Speed up downloads by using more network bandwidth
The downloader uses an algorithm to increase the speed of the download by increasing the network bandwidth used during the download.

In some cases, this can disturb network performance. If you have trouble downloading, this option might not be supported by the proxy server. Try clearing the option and attempting the download again. For details, check with your network administrator.

Download acceleration increases bandwidth and can disturb network performance. Check with your network administrator before enabling download acceleration.

If download acceleration is not supported by the proxy server, this option might be automatically disabled.
