It is shareware and its previous ad supported version drew controversy among users and privacy advocates. Upon being acquired by Headlight Software in 2008, the ad-supported versions were discontinued and the software now offers a free limited trial. Go!Zilla was one of many download managers, also called download accelerators.[2] These particular programs were especially useful when dial-up internet access was more common as it was more difficult to download data due to slow speeds and disconnections. Download accelerators allowed users to stop and resume partial downloads.[3] The software also allowed people to schedule downloads for a convenient time; including while they were away from the computer[4] and was credited with allowing companies to provide a parallel distribution system for their products.[5] In July 2000 the software won PC Magazine's ZDNet's Seventh Annual Shareware Award for Best Utility and was estimated to be used by ten million people at that time.[6] In January 2008, Go!Zilla was acquired by Headlight Software, and Go!Zilla 5 was the first version released with all new source code and without the bundled adware, which had caused some controversy[7][8] despite notifying users that adware was bundled.[9] See also
