Tips To Maximising Your Online Game And Music Downloading

85% of the download sites fail to deliver on what they advertise. Make the most of your downloading site.

The internet provides a wealth of information on downloading programs. If you haven't already subscribed to a downloading program logon to Music & Games Download Reviews to view my independent reviews of the best download programs.

There are endless exciting opportunities out there to maximise your usage and experience. This article focuses on the key area's to be aware of.

Maximise Download Speed

When you perform a search for a file to download you will normally have the choice of a number of different ones. They may all be links to download the same file however be careful to look at the quality rating first. Selecting the file with the highest quality or health rating will ensure a much faster download time without interruptions. The higher the rating the larger the number of users that are sharing / have access to the file you are after and thus different parts of the file will download from different users all at the same time.

Maximise Downloads Available

The speed of downloading a file will depend on a number of things. You have already ensured that you pick the file with the highest quality rating however the download speed will also vary depending on the speed of your computer, the type of internet connection you have and also the number of other programs you have running at the same time.

Downloading files takes up a large amount of your computer's memory. So to eliminate your computer freezing due to too many programs running at once and to maximise how many files you can download I recommend that you select all the files (place them in a queue) you want to download before you go to bed or when you have finished using your computer for the day and let them run during the night. Don't forget to turn off your screen saver or standby mode to ensure that all files download.

Maximise Quality

As a general rule the higher the file size the better the quality and the closer it will be to the original. Smaller file sizes may download quicker however they are usually fragmented, and blurry.

When looking at quality you should look for the file with the highest quality / health rating as well as the largest file size.

Maximise the Extra Downloads Available

As well as movies and games most programs also allow you to download ROMS, TV shows, pictures, art, CD cover images and sleeves as well.

Maximise your Experience

I have tested dozens - even hundreds! - of game and download programs. Some of them are great, most of them get the job done (more or less), and too many simply don't work. I've gathered the top contenders in the field, and reviewed them to ensure they have all the features available to maximise your experience.
