The only way to be fairly confident that it helps is this:

Download a file without it. How long did it take?
Download the same file with it immediately after the first download is complete. How long did it take?

Speeds vary in Limewire while you're downloading a file...this method would allow you to determine an average speed.

What type of connection do you have?

We're a little skeptical because the Limewire accelerator has been examined by the developers, and they say it doesn't help. There are many reasons why your download speed could vary. Some people download very quickly at times and slowly at other times. It depends on your speed, the speed of the host, the bandwidth allocated by you and the host, your ISP, the number of sources, etc.

Cheers

Dano

Well said Muhctekdano

I am of the opinion that these so-called accelerators are bogus apps.

Most of them are just vehicles for adware. Since xrl.us is being blocked by my
HOSTS file I guess this is probably one of those carriers.

I Do Agree i tried it do's not work.
And i am sure that most dont work at all.
So basicly it's a fake and is either avirus-Spyware.
And also a Comeplete waste of time to download.
