Flexcrypt

This encryption toolbox offers 5 different encryption features,
encryption of; Text, Email, Files, MSN and ICQ. It's very easy, just
copy/paste encryption of any text in any application. For automatic
email-encryption, you would need to use an email client (an email
program such as Thunderbird or Outlook or any other), webmail is not
safe say the developers. The email encryption is done according to
the ZIP-standard, so no extra software is required to be installed by
the receiver. All encryption is done with AES 256 bit encryption
algorithm and a password. Advanced users have the option of using the
OpenPGP standard. True-free version of Flexcrypt permits encrypted
communication upto three addresses.

Could you please suggest me a good download accelerator (freeware)
that can increase the download rate by around four times?

DH suggested

You could try DownThemAll, an addon to Firefox web browser.
Its developers claim that the application has an advanced
accelerator that increases download speeds up to 400% and
lets you pause and resume the process at any time!
