Download Manager FAQ
313 users say thanks for this. (Who?)
Next: Download Managers for Firefox Users: DownThemAll!
This FAQ was originally intended to be available in the period of huge downloading issues before the new servers were installed, but finding appropriate software took much longer than expected and so that never happened. However, download managers are still useful tools to make downloading simpler and easier, and can help with problems like files not being completely downloaded etc.
Because of the way MTS2 is set up, most download accelerators just won't work - they try to hammer the servers with zillions of connections, using up other peoples' download slots, and so the servers refuse to let them download. So here we have instructions on how to set up download accelerators properly, so they will be a help rather than a hindrance.
Unfortunately, I've only been able to find programs for Windows or other OS's using Firefox. If anyone knows of a good accelerator which can be used in Mac OS without having to use Firefox, a link would be much appreciated.

There are three parts to this FAQ, the first two for those who don't have/have never heard of a download accelerator.

The first is for Firefox users only. If you don't know whether or not you use Firefox, look at the top of your browser window now. Does it say "mod the sims 2 - Mozilla Firefox"? If not, then you don't.
Firefox users can also use the second FAQ, but the program in the first is much nicer and cleaner.
The DownThemAll! Firefox FAQ

The second is for anyone who uses Windows, but doesn't use Firefox. This one is written for-dummies style, because those who need the hand holding are far more likely to be using Internet Explorer than Firefox.
The Download Accelerator Plus FAQ

And the third is a simple line of text for those who already have a download manager:
Set it up to use no more than two connections simultaneously!
