as of Lion 10.7.4 speed download lite 1.20 has completely stopped launching for me. i had problems like other did before when i was on 10.7.3 but i always managed to fix them by trashing plist and application support folder.

I've just uninstalled SDL for the second time, which is a shame as it's an app I really used to like and would like to keep using. It's just been too flaky an experience relying on SDL for my downloads — the icing on the cake being that it crashed when I went to the Yazsoft site to download the uninstaller.

For some balance, this is was, and can be, a tremendously useful application with the ability to provide consistency across browsers and to automatically file downloads accoring to type. Since the release of 10.7 it has been launching inconsistently despite all my best efforts to trace the problem and use the email and forum available as a registered user.

I see that Yazsoft still has the Speed Download forums locked and this suggests (to me at least) that I am not alone.

In this latest version (1.2.0)... when you click about, it still says that it's version 1.1.28. Minor glitch.

Why aren't new SD and SD Lite versions released simultaneously? I'm always waiting a week or two or more for the Lite version whenever a new SD version is released.

So... you guys just released an update for the regular version. Any updates for the Lite version in the imminent future? How about Firefox 4 support?

FF4 should already be working. Make sure you have the Flashgot extension installed. www.flashgot.net

Sorry for the impatience, just eagerly looking forward to an update. I'm used to there being frequent updates to this app, so it just had me wondering what was going on. No biggie. ^_^

Perfect! =D Does everything I need it to. It seems to work the best in Safari, though... well... there's a context menu item that allows you to turn SD on or off on the fly, which is great for when you're on RapidShare or various other filesharing sites... because you can't multi-thread to those particular websites. I haven't seen this context menu in Safari or Chrome... maybe I'm blind. Still a great program, though. ^_^

This is brilliant. Best download manager I have used. And for the first time, a download manager I have actually paid for.

Just one annoyance though, that might be able to be fixed but I can't figure out how. Is that everytime I download an application, it creates an application folder in my downloads then puts the download in there. It would be good to just put the download in the folder that I specified.

Does that make sense? If this can be change, please let me know how!

Thanks

Absolutely.

That's part of the Filters feature set. Simply go into the SD preferences, and into the PREFERENCES section, and turn it off.

1.1.11 crashes on me, displays nonsense in the filename column. 1.1.10 worked fine (in snow leopard).

I am aware of this; there is a new update coming REAL SOON that should fix this.

I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.

Stay tuned.

SD Lite 1.1.12 has been released and should resolve all the issues inadvertently introduced in the .11 build. Sorry for any inconvenience.

SDL 1.1.24 doesn't intercept YouTube video downloads in Google Chrome (11.0.696.57 stable version). I don't even see the SDL download option in the right-click context menu.
It works fine in Safari 5.0.5 and Firefox 4 though.

I don't know if it's just me, but this doesn't seem to be working in the final release of Firefox 4. If this is the case. an update would be swell. :O

Yup; certainly sounds like something on your system is causing this. Please email me at info@yazsoft.com so we can find out what's preventing you from Speed Downloading.
