How does it work?
With SpeedBit Video Accelerator for iTunes installed, your browser's connection to the iTunes video server is being rerouted through the SpeedBit Video Accelerator Daemon. Unlike the normal browser connection, the Daemon uses a unique patent pending technology that substitutes the single connection with a sophisticated multi-connection algorithm. The end result is an (up to) 10 times faster iTunes video download connection.See diagram below for more details:
