i bought your software sometime ago but!
it cant active more than 1 threads in many of website!
when i try to download from these website it just download it by 1 threads and cant active more than one! result is low speed!
i set threads to 6 but it just active 1 threads!
if you fix this problem i can use it again!
The reason could be the type of the sites you were downloading from.
only folx cant active more than one threads!
ok i will send the website url to your email!

The other issue is that now it pops up every time I want to d/l something and has no obvious way to control this behaviour. I don't see the point of a d/l manager anyway...Now I have to make sure it is uninstalled....Just annoying!

As you are trying to use the feature which is unavailable in FREE version we inform you about it. All the basic functionality of download manager and torrent client is presented in Folx FREE version and can be used without upgrade to PRO.

Back to my problem:
- I download a file not a torrent of course.
- I will post a link to screenshot after finished download folx again, because i already deleted it.
- PSD: i mean free apps Progressive Downloader
- I mean i'm not running two application to download at same time, i tried it one by one,using same link and same internet connection, same computer.
I've considering to buy your app, but now i thing i'll stick with PSD or SD if i need more features. But don't worry i'll give screenshot like you asking for.
Thanks

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 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!!!!
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?

"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.)
