For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.download accelerators work by finding multiple sources of the file you are trying to download, as the internet is a maze of speed bottlenecks it is often faster to download files from several sources as you may not be able to get a fast connection to download the file from only 1 source.
some download managers / accelerators also allow to resume a failed download (for instance if the line drops and you get disconnected).
I hope this clarifies
