I composed a few paragraphs for a corporate web site and checked the grammar. I think the sentences are correctl, but since I am not a native speaker, I might have missed anything. Can someone please walk me through? Thanks.

Enjoy the service we provide? We hope you do. Our company asserts that you can take even greater advantage of it if you use download accelerators for file download. We recommend that you use download accelerators instead of standard download, which is not only painfully slow, but also extremely unreliable.  

Download managers (also known as download accelerators) give users greater control over downloads. This is the software, which allows active Internet users, like you, download files from the Internet easily and quickly. Typically download managers increase download speed by up to 300 percent. They resume and schedule your downloads. The main benefits of accelerators are:

Speed

The main function of a download manager is accelerating the download process. If a file is big enough, download manager splits it into smaller sections, and downloads each split simultaneously. Thus, download time is drastically reduced and you have more files in less time.

Control

You do not have to start your download again, if you have network problems, if your computer shuts down or if the power is unexpectedly cut off. Download manager restarts the broken download process.

Barbara, who answers in American English. My housekeeping skills attest to the truth of the second law of thermodynamics: Left to themselves, things get more and more random!

Oh dear - please remove the red IS. I was rushing to get to a meeting.

As a side note, most of your grammar was fine. I'm still not happy with "to take even greater advantage" and hope someone can come up with a better line than that.

I removed it Smile [:)]. I never just copy and paste the corrected text. I analyze each word to know where I made a mistake and try to not repeat it in future. So it's ok. Thank you very much for getting back with it. I appreciate your time.
