The default download manager for Android isn’t upto the mark as it lacks some basic functionalities such as resume support, multi-threaded downloads and other features. Considering, the limited connectivity of Cellular data and their fluctuating speeds we really should use Download managers on our devices so that we can utilize the resume support on downloads incase of lower speeds and in places where the speeds are higher multiple-download threads by download managers can help us to complete our downloads more quickly and efficiently. So, here are the Top 5 Download Managers & Download Accelerators for Android phones which we can use along with our existing/installed browsers (e.g Google Chrome) to increase downloading speed on Android-
Top 5 Download Manager & Accelerator Apps for Android Phones –
Note – Back in Old Symbian days we used to use UC Browser for downloading, but considering the fact that Android devices are much more complex and vulnerable & amidst reports saying UC Browser was leaking user data to Chinese servers, we skipped it and focussed only on “Pure” Download Managers and work easily with any other browsers such as Google Chrome, Firefox for Android etc. To download using these Download Managers simply use Web browsers for surfing and open the Download links in any one of the following as shown in the image alongside –
No. 1. DMA (Download Manager Accelerator for Android) –
Download Manager Accelerator for Android
Not to be mislead by its common name, DMA by Keerby is one of the best Download Manager for Android which we came across, It has the best User Interface (UI) amongst all the download managers, supports resume supported downloads & 3rd Party browsers too.
Besides, the above option, it has features such as-
Auto-retry after download failure
Supports manual specifying of number of threads to be downloaded for each download as well as auto-determine option based upon your speed.
Feature to download only on WiFi connection so that your cellular data isn’t wasted.
No.2 ADM (Advanced Download Manager for Android) –
ADM Download Manager
If you’re looking for a no-fuss light-weight download manager for Android, that will get your Job done look no further than ADM by DimonVideo . ADM provides features such as –
Multi-threading of downloads.
Auto-resume after download failures, Supports various themes so that you can customize ADM.
It also supports download scheduling and also you can import list of links to be downloaded from a txt file on SD card (you can use unlimited night-pack most effectively by using the Download schedule option)
Though TDM works only for direct download links, but its 3rd Party browser integration is probably the best amongst all the Download accelerators .
TDM directly provides the “wedge” and “i” icons which you can use to tweak the download settings such as number of threads, etc and ability to change the download location so that handling downloads is much more easier. Save button simply starts the file download –
Download Accelerator Plus is a compact download manager which is a meagre 1.3 MB in size! , Not to be mistaken by its lesser size it provides all major functions such as

Supports background downloading even when the screen is locked.
Provides category and time-line sorting of downloaded files so that you can easily locate your downloaded files.
Has a small in-built web browser which helps to download from non-resume supported websites.
Not to be confused with original IDM for Windows, this download manager is highly inspired from the real IDM, and copies most of the features from it . Although, the User Interface is really shabby and needs to be worked upon, the Download Speeds obtained are good and it doesn’t leak user data to servers which makes it enter our list.
Besides this the Download Manager also supports non-resumable link downloads and whose filesize aren’t shown, and allows some features such as ability to set downloaded music files as ringtone etc.

A lot of ISPs, offices, colleges etc block the utorrent P2P protocol or are filtering the same, hence most times the torrent downloads are very slow or simply they don’t download at all. A Simple solution to this problem is caching torrents online and then downloading the torrent with IDM via HTTP protocol by torrent leeching sites. So, below are the Top 15 Free torrent leeching sites which will help you to download torrents via IDM.

ZZLbox.com’s Features are same as that of Furk.net , also it allows you to preview/view screenshots of any video torrent you cache on it, and it also doesn’t require any invites!
Similar in functionality like Zbigz.com, but the only downside is that its in russian language, however you can use Google Translate to translate the website into English.
No.14 – JustSeed.it: This website is also like Fuge.it- a torrent seedbox, but the User interface isn’t too great and user-friendly .
No.15 – BtCloud.io : BtCloud.io is also a good alternative torrent leeching website, but the torrent file size limit is very low and supports torrent size only upto 1GB . Hence we will recommend to use this only during dire situations.
So, these were Free Torrent Leeching Websites, We hope they will help you to easily get your favorite torrents downloaded if the traffic is filtered, feel free to comment any good website you know 🙂
