Hi friends

Is there any program in which user can specify multiple Ftps for a large File (like Linux distros) to download in parallel from these FTPs.

Thanks and Regards

Download accelerator pro does it, AFAIK. I think most good quoality download managers will support this.

Flashget, Free Download Manager are two windows download managers which support this, and for linux/unix you have Prozilla.

Godbless sedson is actually asking if the program can download from multiple ftp sites at once or not..
Well usually download managers create multiple connection but not from multiple sites.

But I found that download accelerator plus actually searches the same file over many place at internet .. so donno about others but DAP Actually downloads from multiple sites at once if available ..

multiple download from various mirrors

YUp Ricky I exactly mean that.

Though software search the multiple site theirself. I am asking if user can specify ftp location by their own.

Download Accelerator find out best FTP site itself. But if I need to define FTPs myself can I do that in Download Accelerator.

@godblessedon....its sure u can do it but
u cannot make different ftps for different dowwnlaods by urself...u will have to use the automatic one

also why to use other site if it selects the best site ?
hmmmm.......best we want fastest ..which it scans and does
