rFactorCentral currently has only one file server which is under a consistent heavy load from well over 10 000 users. In peak periods downloads can drop out and/or be slow. To make the most of available server resources and avoid the frustration of slow or incomplete downloads I recommend using a download manager that supports acceleration.
I tested a range of download managers to find one I could recommend to people using the rFactorCentral file server. Internet Download Manager (IDM) fully supports the download mechanism and file server configuration used on rFactorCentral.
I use IDM myself and have a ZERO failure rate from the other side of the world to the file server. I also test the file server each day and get good-great download speeds. It also works with sites like Rapidshare etc.
If you do try Internet Download Manager and go onto purchase it, rFactorCentral will receive a small commission (which goes towards meeting the costs of running the site) if you use purchase it through
