.1. ABSTRACT ………….……………………………

DAM: DOWNLOAD ACCELERATOR MANAGER:

A download manager is a computer program dedicated to the task of downloading

possibly unrelated stand-alone files from the Internet for storage. This is unlike a World Wide
Web browser, which is mainly intended to browse web pages, composed of a multitude of
smaller files, where error-free moving of files for permanent storage is of secondary
importance. (A failed or incomplete web page file rarely ruins the page.) The typical download
manager at a minimum provides means to recover from errors without losing the work already
completed, and can optionally split the file to be downloaded into 2 or more segments, which
are then moved in parallel, potentially making the process faster within the limits of the
available bandwidth. (A few servers are known to block moving files in parallel segments, on
the principle that server capacity should be shared equally by all users.) Multi-source is the
name given to files that are downloaded in parallel

Download managers are useful for very active Internet users. For dial-up users, they
can automatically dial the Internet Service Provider at night, when rates or tariffs are usually
much lower, download the specified files, and hang-up. They can record which links the user
clicks on during the day, and queue these files for later download. For broadband users,
download managers can help download very large files by resuming broken downloads, by
limiting the bandwidth used, so that other internet activities are not affected (slowed) and the
server is not overloaded, or by automatically navigating a site and downloading pre-specified
content (photo galleries, MP3 collections, etc.) this can also include automatically downloading
whole sites and regularly updating them (see Mirroring). Many download managers support
Meta-link, an XML file listing mirrors, checksums, and other information useful for
downloading.

.2. PROBLEM DEFINITION …………………………
Main objective of the Download Accelerator Manager is a computer program dedicated
to the task of downloading possibly unrelated stand-alone files from the Internet for storage.
This is unlike a World Wide Web browser, which is mainly intended to browse web pages,
composed of a multitude of smaller files, where error-free moving of files for permanent
storage is of secondary importance.

PROBLEM WITH SYSTEM’s DEFAULT DOWNLOAD MANAGER:

In default download manager which is pre-installed in particular Operating System, the
problem is whenever the user is trying to download any file from the internet from World Wide
Web enabled Web Browser, those default download manager cannot give the full potential
download speed to the downloading file, because the system is designed to allow the internet
connections to other components of the Operating System which needs to connected with
internet to update them automatically or several other things to do etc.

So, this DAM: Download Accelerator Manager is made for preventing this issue, it gives
the user full potential power of internet connection to download any file from the internet in
few minutes or may be seconds, vary on the file size and internet connection.

It is comparably 50% to 80% percent faster than the existing download manager which
comes pre-installed in your operating system. This project “Download Accelerator Manager” is
made up of Java Language which provides the interpreted code which gives a advantage to
execute the same source code of application on any type of Operating System viz. Windows,
Linux, Unix, Mac-OS etc.

.7. FEASIBILITY STUDY… …………………………

A feasibility study is an analysis that takes all of a project's relevant factors into
account—including economic, technical, legal, and scheduling considerations—to ascertain the
likelihood of completing the project successfully. Project managers use feasibility studies to
discern the pros and cons of undertaking a project before they invest a lot of time and money
into it.

Technical Feasibility

Technical feasibility centers on the existing computer system (hardware, software etc)
and to what extent it can support the proposed addition. In our proposed solution formulated,
did not require any additional technology. Hence the system is technically feasible. The entire
solution enlisted does not require any additional software for this solution.

Economic Feasibility

More commonly known as cost benefit analysis, the procedure is to determine the
benefits and savings that are expected from proposed system compare them with cost. The
proposed system utilizes the currently available technologies. The cost during the development
of the product is low. The interface and the scripts used are as simple as it could be. Therefore
the net cost in its development is less.

Operational Feasibility

Organizational, political and human aspects are considered in order to ensure that the
proposed system will be workable when implemented.

.8. SDLC………………….……….……………………………

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE:

Like any other product, a software product completes a cycle from its inception to
obsolescence/replacement/wearing out. The process of software development not only needs
writing the program and maintains it, but also a detail study of the system to identify current
requirements related to software development as well as to anticipate the future requirements.
It also needs to meet the objective of low cost, and good quality along with minimum
development time.

➢ Requirement analysis and specification for clear understanding of the problem.

➢ Software design for planning the solution of the problem.
➢ Coding (implementation) for writing program as per the suggested solution.
➢ Testing for verifying and validating the objective of the product.
➢ Operation and maintenance for use and to ensure its availability to users.

This application was also developed in phases for effective output. Each phase was given
its due importance with respect to time and cost. The time scheduling is later described in the
PERT and Gantt chart. The system development life cycle of Project Management Information
System is shown below:

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS MODEL:

A software development process model is a description of the work practices, tools and
techniques used to develop software. Software models serve as standards as well provide
guidelines while developing software. It is beneficial to one or more software development
model while developing software

Water Fall Model

It includes a sequential approach to software development. It includes phases like task

definition, analysis, design, implementation, testing and maintenance. The phases are always in
order and are never overlapped.

Waterfall Model

16
.9. TESTING ……………………………

Testing is the verification and validation activity for the software product. Software
testing is defined as an activity to check whether the actual results match the expected results
and to ensure that the software system is Defect free. It involves execution of a software
component or system component to evaluate one or more properties of interest.

Software testing also helps to identify errors, gaps or missing requirements in contrary
to the actual requirements. It can be either done manually or using automated tools. Some
prefer saying Software testing as a White Box and Black Box Testing.

In simple terms, Software Testing means Verification of Application Under Test (AUT).

The goals of testing phases are:

➢ To affirm the quality of the product by finding and eliminating faults in the programs.
➢ To demonstrate the presence of all specified functionality in the product.

➢ To estimate the operation reliability of the software.

TESTING PHASES:
The Testing phase consists of:

➢ Unit Testing

➢ Integration Testing

➢ System Testing

17
Q.1 WHAT IS UNIT TESTING?
In this phase each module checks individually, that each module run independently from
other modules and checks the errors.

Q.2 WHAT IS INTEGRATION TESTING?

In this phase, two or more module combines and run and checks the errors. It is two
types.
1. Top down testing
2. Bottom up testing

Q.3 SYSTEM TESTING?

In this phase we run software as a single unit. These are two types.

1. ALFA TESTING
This testing performed at company level.

2. BETA TESTING
This testing is performed by users.

18
.10. FUTURE SCOPE …………………………

This software is based on completely the Java language to provide platform

independency in a graphical manner. This software is useful for downloading the files from the
internet. The cost of software is very low. There it is easily available for all customers.

Download managers commonly include one or more of the following features:

1. Resuming broken or paused downloads (especially for very large files).

2. Downloading files on poor connections.
3. Downloading several files from a site automatically according to simple rules
(file types, updated files, etc. - see also Offline Browser).
4. Automatic recursive downloads.
5. Pausing the downloading of large files.
6. Scheduled downloads (including, automatic hang-up and shutdown).
7. Variable bandwidth usage.
