Using free dl manager is good for you and sucks for everyone else including paradox. The connections alone reduce the overall speed of other people, not to mention you're stepping on top of other people by using 10x the speed.

If you use one, fine, but keep it to yourself don't get 400 other people using it.

This advice is worth repeating. Someone using 10 slots to download with an app like FDL means 9 other people are going to be denied

Then again, they will be finished in 2 min and free bandwidth for other users. You can look at it from two sides really. Dont think people care that much if their speed is 1 kB/s or 5...

weird?

the contents of this file cannot be unpacked. the executable you are attempting to run has been corrupted. please obtain another copy of the file, verify its integrity, and try again.

i´m no expert, does anybody know something to do against that or is it a casual of the servers breaking down?

Again, the 9 extra connection hits reduce the sum of all bandwidth to less than 100%. One or two people might not have much of an effect but extolling the virtues of d/l managers to tons of people goes past pissing off Kant (which is easy) to pissing off Bentham (which means you're really screwing something up).
