Why are download accelerators prohibited?

0

The technology behind a download accelerator is simple: create many connections to download a file piece by piece in parallel. Bandwidth is a measure of how much data can be sent over the Internet in a given period of time. This website has limited bandwidth, which is split evenly among all the people who are currently downloading. Download accelerators selfishly rob other users of their fair share of the bandwidth by taking up many shares at once. So, in order to ensure that there is enough bandwidth for everybody, including YOU, I have prohibited the use of download accelerators.
