Does not appear to integrate with Chrome/Chromium :(. Too bad, I like the interface. Will have to look elsewhere.

Unfortunately at the moment Folx really doesn't support integration with Chrome.
We are working hard at fixing this issue. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The functionality is very good for the person, who downloads lots of files every day. My compliments to the tagging system! It's very useful and saves my time.

The interface of the second version is much more polished comparing with the first one.

Good software but very poor support. Take care when purchasing as updates have the ability to invalidate your license . Trying to get that fixed is a nightmare. Be wary, very bad customer service!!

Hello Ian,
In fact we have replied to your emails three or four times. It seems that something is blocking support at eltima dot com email address and you haven't received them. Please make sure that your spam filter didn't block it or put the emails into the spam folder. We have found your order, it refers to Folx Downloader PRO version 1.X. That is why the registration information is not accepted.

I bought Folx Pro in September and it was completely unstable from the beginning. It was useless and crashed all the time. It took the developer about three months to sort out the problem when they released their new update at the beginning of December. Yay!!!!!!! Problem is that if I pause a download it doesn't want to resume and I have to start the download from scratch. Its especially a problem with downloads from filesonic.

Have you restart your browser on mac? I suggest after you installed folx, try to restart your mac otherwise you would face those kind of problems. After restart it should be ok and hopefully it works.

Hello, Farres!
In your case it will be enough to restart your browser.

Used to work great, but version 2 crashes all the time. Every time you add a new download. Every time you scroll the list of downloads. Every time you do just about anything with it - it just hangs there with the spinning ball of death.
Of course Its just a bug, but its a showstopper, and its been there for months. Very slow response.
This products would deserve four stars or more if the showstopper bug was to be removed.

All these file extensions are automatically registered with Folx when you install it. I think it should be rather an opt-in and not an opt-out for me to dig though it where to disable to plugin. I am going to delete the plugin manually, it sucks...

Hi! i'm discovering the same thing ~ and i'm on the 'free' version." All of my application updates are being 'snatched' and i cannot find them anywhere. They don't even show up under the browser download windows. i used to be able to click "reveal [or show] in finder ... but that feature'a been disabled. i thought i was going bonkers ~ so ty for posting your note!

i'm not sure there's an overwhelming need to have folx at all..... or am i missing the boat on something else? i'll try muddling through the free version for a while, but i'm dumbfounded as to why my other apps are effected. ty ~ and ty for sharing your concerns!

I am trying to figure out how to get rid of the plugin in Opera. It installs a Netscape style plugin somewhere in Opera directory and no way to disable it. I didn't ask for this particularly not for every and each single file extension beside htm(l) to be registered with Folx. Thats's just wrong and no interface in the program provided.

Extremely suspicious activity going on here. Ever since installing the latest update (Build 0.9.533.423, which does not seem to be listed on MacUpdate yet) I'm getting a lot of blocked attempts to connect to various IP addresses. I do not have a torrent active, nor do I currently have any downloads active or paused. Why is Folx trying to make connections when I do not have a download active? Quitting the utility until I figure out why.

AS the last poster points out folx has this major issue of "hijacking" links and downloading without authorization I found out today it downloaded 2 songs from whatever site I visited even though I did not want to download those songs!!!

I am fed up with folx hijacking links what if it downloads a virus next time, I suggest the developer remove this automated function of downloading automatically or capturing downloads it severely eats into my speeds and renders my internet usage nil.

And despite disabling the functions in Firefox, on the folx icon deleting the folx add ons it still attempts to dictate downloads. The developers need to get it into their head we decide what to download not the software. I no longer recommend folx and now think your better off with speed download instead. As it does not leave bits of files around and does not hijack as much links, and has the courtesy to ask if you want to download a file or not!!!!

i seem to having some issues when i download files with folx.

files which links to yousendit.

at the start the file names appear as how it should.. but after a while the converts straight to a file named...transfer.php. and with this it becomes a text file.

the size of the file remains the same but i cant seem to open the file at all. Anyone encountering the same issue as me?

if so how can i open the files?

There has been a minor issue with capturing file's names correctly for some specific downloads with Folx. As an option you may try to rename the downloaded file as it should have been named originally. If this doesn't help, please, write at support_at_eltima.com and send the download link for investigation.

This (May 15) version (0.8.235.329) crashes upon launch. The crash report states
"Link (dyld) error:
Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libproc.dylib
Referenced from: /Applications/Utilities/Folx.app/Contents/MacOS/Folx.real
Reason: image not found"

Well, there's no libproc.dylib to be found anywhere on my boot disk (10.4.11). The previous version DID work. Is it Leopard-only?


One more thing: you can "Use Folx to catch download links in browsers" via its Preferences (it appears to run a script to achieve this). Once the Beta expires, it won't run anymore (quits on launch), so there's no way to undo that setting. From then on, when you click on a download link, Folx launches and immediately quits (as it's expired) and nothing gets downloaded...
(Actually, you can still download by right-clicking the link and choosing "Download Linked File As...", but it is a rather annoying oversight.)
