Test
Take a look at this download speed test! Using the same resources, the download speed using gopeed reached only 571 kilobytes per second, which doesn’t seem particularly ideal.
Looking at the download speed using IDM, it is only 67K/S, which is disappointing. Obviously, when using gopeed for downloading, the speed is faster than IDM, which is really surprising.
When tested with the browser’s built-in download, the speed is even slower, only 3.2K/S, speechless~
Maybe some friends will say that this is not very fast. I found another system to download for testing, and the speed reached 14M/S, which is not bad!
The gopeed tool is really powerful and supports multi-terminal operations. Windows, Mac or Linux can handle it easily. Supporting multi-threaded processing can greatly improve work efficiency.
The most important thing is that it supports multiple types of seed files, whether it is a common BT seed or a CI link, it can be quickly identified and downloaded. It is very convenient to use. If you need it, you must collect it in time to avoid missing this useful tool.
