DAM does allow you to schedule download, batch downloads, pause and resume, and so on. You can change the order of downloads, and easily re-schedule them as well. It also very nicely puts your downloads into categories, and makes it easy to manage them once you've got them downloaded.
The problem I had, though, was that it didn't integrate with my browsers. When I downloaded files from popular download sites--including PC World's download library--Download Accelerator Manager simply didn't recognize them. Nor would it allow them to be managed. I couldn't get it to work with either Internet Explorer or Firefox. It worked fine when I entered actual URLs for downloads, but that's not exactly a timesaver. You'll save more time if you bypass this program and go for instead.
