Summer Action Workout

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

All summer long we’ve been very busy, burning the midnight oil as they say, on lots and lots of fixes, new features, refinements and redesign.

Now, all that hard work is supposed to pay off with an upcoming slew of betas, releases and much more. Stay tuned, as we unveil the fruits of our hot summer labour.

For starters, we’ve uploaded a new version for SpeedBit.com. It looks entirely different now. Our team went back to the drawing board, and essentially re-designed the whole aesthetic concept for the website.

But the graphic changes are just the tip of the iceberg - as we also rebuilt the site structure & topology from scratch. For the first time, SpeedBit users can browse, review, download and buy all of our software from within a single website.

All of our products (DAP, SpeedBit Video Accelerator, MailInfo, etc.), our web services (FileFlyer, FileRatings.com) can be easily found and downloaded in a single click, using a simple but effective navigation.

When facebook launched their new website facelift, not long ago, the web was filled with reviews and comments, for and against (examples here and here). It seemed almost everybody had an opinion about it and that can only be a good thing!

We encourage you to do the same: Let us know what you like and dislike in our new design. What else would you like to see in Speedbit.com and what is “just right” as it is?

You are more than welcome to leave your comments here, or leave a link to your review, if u want to display it on your personal site or blog.

We hope you will be excited with the new SpeedBit.com as we are!
If you only know SpeedBit through just one of our products - now is your chance to explore all of our other products and services - most of them are free and the rest are free to try!

Happy browsing
The SpeedBit.com Team

High Speed Internet: Do you really get the speed?

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008


There’s a very common misconception about Broadband internet connection:
Internet Service Providers keep selling us ultra high speed connections, but downloading still takes long and watching HD video stream is not really happening…

The reason lies in the way the internet is built. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link and a data transfer session is only as fast as the slowest route along the way between the source and the destination.

Be it a busy server, a congested website or a sluggish connection, to name a few of the most common internet hiccups, downloading with DAP automatically bypasses and overcomes any such obstacles. DAP uses patented multi-connection technology to initiate several, simultaneous connections, downloading different parts of the requested file, from one or more servers. This way, users are finally allowed to actually reach the bandwidth they pay for in the first place.
More on DAP technology here.

You can use the table below to locate your internet connection type and check out the number on the right. This is the correct maximum speed (in Kilobytes or Ks per second) you should get when downloading. Basically, whenever you get slower transfer rates - you are getting less than the promised maximum speed you are paying for.

So reclaim your broadband bandwidth today:
Start downloading with DAP.

You can get the latest version here.

Keep on downloading,
