Has anyone tried "fastget"? It is supposed to download from web 200% to 500% faster. I would like to know if this is one of those too good to be true schemes. Or is it worth downloading.

Just from its description I would say it's too good to be true.
(Is the program actually 'Flashget'?)
Flashget describes itself as operating by breaking up a file download into pieces and downloading the pieces simultaneously which makes it faster.
I don't think so: all the pieces coming simultaneously still are limited by the modem's connection/throughput.

Aloha! Richard.
