Whatever reason you choose to connect to the Internet via Proxy, you can still use Folx for regular downloads (HTTP). You may configure some Proxy settings like proxy type you use, the proxy server name, etc.
Folx is a download manager with multi-threading support, which means each download can be split in up to 20 simultaneous threads. Since multiple connections are initiated to the same server, a download speed can improve significantly.

The download speed on your Mac depends on many factors. Some of them are external ones which we can hardly handle, like speed limitations set by a website or the type of wires your Internet Service Provider uses to transmit the Internet signal. The other factors are actually the system ones and can be successfully controlled by an accurate management of the download process in general.
The useful tips may be not to start multiple downloads at a time, to pause less important downloads to provide more traffic to the most urgent ones or to limit your upload rate. The fastest and the most comprehensive way to boost your download speed is to adjust the special features your download manager provides. Folx, for example, possesses a whole spectrum of useful features which help to increase download speed.
