“I am very excited to see Speedbit reaching such a huge popularity” said Idan Feigenbaum, Speedbit founder and CTO, “I remember the days when I coded the first version of DAP in my parents garage, I tried to solve my own download speed pains and I ended up helping out many millions around the world who share the same pains – this is a truly great feeling”.

“This is a great achievement by a great team who share a vision and a passion to lift the barriers that prevent everyone from really getting the speed and performance they are paying for” said Ariel Yarnitsky, Speedbit CEO “such barriers are getting bigger when going mobile and we are determined to lift those speed barriers for mobile users around the world”.

 Why do we need an acceleration engine? 

As bandwidth grows, the need for tools that allow consumers to effectively use such bandwidth is ever so high. Having an acceleration engine on a device (computer, mobile device) is the only way to make sure data flow to the device will be truly effective. Without an acceleration engine, one will hardly ever make a true full use of the bandwidth at hand, especially when connected to a super-fast / fiber connection.

Research has shown that:

• A user with a 10mbps connection effectively gets on average only 1.6 mbps of bandwidth – effective bandwidth of just 16%… *

• Upgrading from a 5mbps connection to a 10mbps will end up in 5% improvement (instead of the anticipated 100% improvement) *

• Adding more bandwidth is hitting the law of diminishing returns – without an acceleration engine a user, in real life conditions, will hardly ever enjoy speeds above 20mbps, even if his connection shows a 100 mbps on a speed test.

• Testing for speed on speed test sites shows the true potential speed of the connection but NOT the real life speed. The reason is that speed tests use multi thread to accelerate the data delivery during the test. Speedbit lets you use multi thread technology ALL THE TIME, not just during the test – so your real life speed with Speedbit will be as high as the speed you get when running speed tests.

So, what are you waiting for? Join the speed revolution!!!

Internet connections are managed through the TCP/IP port on your computer. This is a fantastic piece of technology that enables two computers to communicate with one another. However, one thing that this protocol is not fantastic at is transferring data in high volume. Of course you could blame the technicians and designers of this port but in all fairness this would be like blaming the guy who invented the wheel for not anticipating the development of the automobile. The internet is one of the most consumer-led environments and who could anticipate from the outset the technological developments that would drive internet use in the 21st century.

However, the reasons the protocol isn’t the most efficient for download speed is not really because of a design flaw but rather because, the internet is one giant chain, and a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Or in the case of internet video download, as fast as its slowest link. So what solutions have been offered to improve download speed?

Improving Download Speed with a New Port

In the past there have been attempts to design a new port for hi-speed downloads but as good as this may have been in principle, this approach ran into a problem. Like anything communication-related, for it to work you need the matching device at both ends of the loop. If either the receiver or sender installed the new port, it made no difference to video download speed because everyone else was still using the existing technology. The end result was that the new technologies never reached a critical mass and so despite offering theoretical improvements and specific solutions to specific problems, they were never able to demonstrate improvements on a wide enough scale to become the industry standard and were abandoned.

Download Managers and Accelerators

This left the field open for download managers which contain download acceleration software and sit alongside existing browsers. Using an internet accelerator doesn’t accelerate the speed of you connection but rather increases video download speed by optimizing the performance of the existing technology.

SPEEDbit Download Accelerator

SPEEDbit’s download accelerator technology works by splitting the data to be transferred into smaller segments and uses patented multi-channel technology. To put this in simple terms, this technology improves download speed by making the process more efficient. Instead of sending requests one at time, multiple requests are sent simultaneously. The result — video download speed is improved dramatically. Naturally, the technology also works in reverse and upload speeds are also optimized to be much quicker.

The technology which SPEEDbit has developed is able to improve not just download speed but the acceleration engine is also able to work in conjunction with streaming sites, so whether you’re streaming video from sites such as YouTube, Veoh, Facebook or DailyMotion, the experience is frustration-free.

Overall, the best solution for increased download speed is not simply to purchase a faster connection from your ISP, rather you should use a download accelerator package such as SPEEDbit’s Download Accelerator Plus in conjunction with your connection to optimize download performance.

Mobile phones were developed with one use in mind talking to people without having to be in a specific place. The advance of technology led to the inclusion of additional functions and although we’re still waiting for a mobile phone that will make you a cup of tea, the additional functions that are now standard issue were added to the package on an ad-hoc basis and that means that there’s plenty of room for improvement.

If you think it’s amazing to have a camera, an app that can tell you what song you’re listening to on the radio, mobile internet access with the ability to watch video from YouTube, all on a machine that fits into your pocket, you’re right. What goes alongside this is a feeling that these ultra-modern, hi-tech appliances are doing everything the best that they can and this is where we’re slightly mistaken.

Just as the internet from your PC can benefit from video accelerator technology, the same is true for your mobile phone. This is simply because the internet works on the same principles regardless of the device you’re using to connect. We know how to accelerate video downloads from a PC and the technology works just as well in a mobile phone.

The good news is that mobile manufacturers have got wise to the notion that video accelerator technology actually works and they’ve begun to embed this technology into their handsets. In recent tests, a mobile device equipped with built-in SPEEDbit video acceleration was an incredible five times quicker at downloading video from YouTube as compared to a standard mobile.

But don’t just take our word for it; check out this short YouTube clip. Using our video accelerator technology means that watching this clip and any other video from YouTube will be much less frustrating.

The concept itself is pretty straightforward, there’s a type of software that you can download which claims that you can speed up your internet connection’s download performance. The question is whether this actually makes a significant difference to your video download and video streaming speeds.

Independent tests of SPEEDbit’s video accelerator have shown that the technology behind SPEEDbit’s Video Accelerator provides a remarkable improvement in streaming video from youtube and other sites. The good news is that the same technology is also the basis for SPEEDit’s Download Accelerator Plus 10 which speeds up video downloads.

The worldwide web has come a long way from the early days of dial-up connections.  Upgrades in telecommunications infrastructure and computer processing speeds have led to much faster connections, greater network capacity, which has built consumer pressure for files in much higher resolution and faster downloading and streaming of full-length movies. That things have moved and improved is beyond dispute, but even with the fastest internet connection you’re still likely to experience the annoying buffering whilst streaming a video on sites such as YouTube. With users continuing to demand increasingly fast download speeds and less waiting time, why does this happen and what’s the solution?

Fast Video Download Speeds?

Browse the websites of any internet service provider (ISP) or glance at their advertisements and you’ll see connection speeds of 100mb or more being advertised but let’s get straight to the point; this isn’t the effective speed of your connection.

Let’s be clear, no-one is suggesting that the ISP’s are pulling a confidence trick- the speed measured is accurate. The standard measured is the speed of the connection between your computer and your ISP’s servers but in practice this isn’t the only factor which results in the speed of your internet downloads. The problem isn’t deceitful behavior from ISP’s. After all, they are measuring accurately; the only thing is that they are measuring the first leg in a long journey.

Research by Google has shown that on a 10 megabyte line, the average performance they were able to work at is 1.6mb, which means that 84% of capacity is lost. Furthermore, whilst you may think that doubling your connection speed will double your download speed, Google established that on average you gain a 5% increase in performance when moving from say a 5mb to a 10mb connection. So if you’re looking for faster video downloads then upgrading your connection alone simply isn’t the solution.

The reason that upgrading your connection doesn’t really solve the problem is because the main problem isn’t the bandwidth, i.e. the capacity of your connection but rather latency on the line. Latency is the time it takes for a request to be sent from your computer to its destination and back again. Naturally, the further your computer from its destination, the longer this round-trip will take. Increasing bandwidth doesn’t address the issue of latency at all and if all you are doing is increasing the bandwidth, the law of diminishing marginal returns comes into effect. Indeed, SPEEDbit’s own research data shows that the difference in maximum download and upload speeds gained from a 100mb connection is negligible when compared to the speeds achieved on a 20mb line.

The failure to achieve optimal performance is also explained in part by the historical way that the system works. Data (sent in packets) is traditionally sent in single requests; only once the previous request has been completed can the next be sent. If this seems to be just a little bit 1970s, but too much moustache and not enough disco; well that’s because it is.

The standard communication ports and protocols in a home computer were not designed for the function of large-scale data transfer, yet this is how people have ended up using the internet. Whilst there is a way to use the standard communication protocols differently, the operating systems that interface with the TCP/IP continue to use the traditional system and this alone results in a significant loss of performance.

There is a way to mitigate the loss of speed but that doesn’t involve merely upgrading to a “faster” connection because as the research has shown faster connections above 20mb aren’t actually significantly faster at doing what people want the internet to do.

Local Solutions: Download Manager

The internet can be likened to the public water system. Water is pumped all over the city being divided up by the different users along its way, who are all connected to the same system. If you measure the pressure at source you’ll get a fantastic reading but that doesn’t help the guy who sees little more than a dribble when he turns on the tap. The internet is similar. Take a reading of the connection between your computer and your ISP and the figures look great but this is only measuring the first leg in the journey. When you want to download video the signal must pass through several servers (there can be often be 40 or more stages- called hops- from your computer to the server from which you are downloading). By time the signal has made its way from your house and back again the actual speed is much slower. Additionally you are restricted to the speed at which the slowest server is operating (we’ll discuss this in more detail in part two).

The fellow waiting to fill his tub doesn’t complain to the water company, so long as something is coming out of the faucet, because they can’t do anything. He calls a plumber who comes to fit a pump to the pipes in his home. Internet users need to find a similar solution because however good the connection speeds are from you to your ISP, the download speed you work with never comes anywhere close.

A solution that can increase download speeds significantly (the overall level of improvement depends on the starting point) is SPEEDbit’s Download Accelerator Plus (DAP) software.  DAP is the next generation of internet communication; you don’t need to overhaul your hardware rather DAP makes your computer work smarter. Essentially, if you’re paying for a connection of more than 20mb and not using Download Accelerator Plus then you are far from getting value for money (skeptics please note: the basic version of our latest release is free to download and use and to date in excess of 250 million users have downloaded our software in its various incarnations).

In the upcoming section we’ll look at some of the other reasons that could be slowing down your internet connection and what you can do about it. Section three will look at the technological advances in download manager and download accelerator software.

Wait for the bus. Wait for what’s cooking. But don’t wait after your downloads! We’re here so you don’t have to wait! With SPEEDbit you can just let your videos play smoothly without any choppiness and enjoy life with all the time you saved. No more breaking your head on how to go around these problems. You know what I’m talking about. We’ve all tried pressing that pause button and coming back later to see if that video is finally all here. You have too many things to do to enjoy life, you don’t need to wait after your Internet.
