One of the key features of dmass is the fact that you can download more then 1 file ... up to 99 files to be precise! 

Now then, time for one of the really unique features of dmass. 
This is where you can modify the HTTP Headers sent to the website you are downloading from. 

Firstly, wtf are HTTP Headers?! *yoda voice* Well my friend, important they are hmmm.

Every time you go to a page on the internet, click a link or download a file, 
your browser sends �header� information to the website. It contains information on the
file/program you requested, which page you came from, what type of browser you are
using and what language your browser uses.

So � why do I need to change them?!

In normal circumstances you may not need to change them. But there are many reasons why
you would, let me put a few to you.

Scenario 1: Let�s say we are hosting the file to download on a free host,
with this host they say you are not allowed �remote linking�.
This means to download the file you have to go to the website and click a link, 
otherwise the download will fail. This is where all other webdownloaders will fail
because they just request the file, the host says �you are trying to download this 
file from outside the website� and then it refuses access to the file.

Scenario 2: Some web hosts check which browser you are using, then check against
a list they have and if it�s not a valid browser, it won�t let you access the site.
Guess what..? This is another place where normal webdownloaders fail. 
Because they are not browsers (or don�t say they are a browser) the host doesn�t allow access to the file.

Another special feature of dmass is that you can download the files through a http proxy.
