Noone use Download Accelerator?

 

[AnthraX101]

I personaly dissagree. I don't like blackice, because it actualy will spontainiously send information back to its home server even if you forbid it to from within its own program. It just reaks of spyware to me.

I read that article. It seems from his tests that Blackice can't keep your comp from being used as a zombie in a DOS attack while ZA,even the freeware version does.
