I have been trying for a few hours to find a way to download the Akamai Download Manager. I have been to ask.com, yahoo.com, several Q+A sites and forums and am at a loss. I have already downloaded and installed the Akamai NetSession Interface, which is required, but have no clue at this point where to find the other download, and this includes extensive time spent right on their website. Does anyone have a direct link address to get this download?

    I found the answer myself just now in a forum. The Akamai NetSession Interface is the actual name for the Download Manager. So I already have it installed.  The direct link to download the NetSession Interface is:   http://www.akamai.com/html/solutions/downloadmanager_demos.html   You will need to click on the very first orange button that says "Standard Demo". The category is "A Basic Download".  Again, it's the very first button. It's not just a demo, in fact I could find no demos, but it does install NetSession and it stays on your computer until you choose to delete from "Add or Remove Programs" in your Control Panel.  I have used NetSession in the past and it works well, the only small downside is that the transition from page to page on the internet is a little choppy. It's worth it though for the increased internet speed.
