Download.com reports only a 32% approval rate for Download Accelerator. It does mention the spyware. I have never used such programs, but possibly Clinton can tell you how to disable the spyware.

Download.com also lists download time for Jetaudio 6 as 36 minutes with a 53K download. I would not find that too intolerable, though I would try to walk away from the machine so as not to slow down the process. If the download fails, all you lose is the time unless you have to pay extra for your connection time. I have a flat rate, whether the internet is on 1 or 24 hours per day.

Jetaudio does list a download of Jetaudio 4 which is about half the size. I never used that, so I can't say how good it might be.
