It works by using more than 1 connection for downloading, if I understand it rightly, it means it downloads more than 1 part of the file at once, thus maxing out your download speeds.

As for if it is free, it depends, if you use Virgin's own newsgroups then yes it is free!
Just google GrabIt, then when that is downloaded and installed, run it and set the server to: news.virginmedia.com and set the "maximum allowed connections" to whatever you want, as I say, 5-6 maxes out, but you can have upto 32 connections maximum!
