1. SD does not integrate with Chrome (there is a download plugin on SoftPedia but it's not reliable).
2. Need speed settings for 1M+ connections
3. Fix update mechanism so we don't have to uninstall/reinstall/configure everytime you update SD (WTF)
SD has been lagging so we have two hopes: Yazsoft is working on SD6 or they've given up.

I've been a long-time user of Yazsoft Speed Download. With my current configuration (OS X 10.7.3, Safari 5.1.5, and Speed Download 5.3.0), it no longer downloads Youtube videos. You're supposed to be able to right-click on the page where the video is, and click the option to "Download Youtube Video". Good news: You can still click the option on the menu. Bad news: It doesn't do anything. : ( I went to the Yazsoft form to ask about the problem... All the Speed Download forums are locked! No posts since September 2011.

I sent you everything possible to troubleshoot the issue. The problem starts with the latest update to Safari. I would love to keep SD. From my part I removed all extensions, plugins and other thing that could interfer with SD but no chance. And last but not least I did'nt get any feedback from you. I moved to Folx because I had no choice. I'm a SD's fan from the early days. In my job as a Mac IT, I always suggest your app to my client and a bunch of them already bought it. And you won't believe me, but I'll continue to suggest it as the best download manager on the Mac. I was just needed some help to troubleshoot it, that's why I was disappointed. I'll go back to SD anytime when this issue will be solved.

when you stope file andresum it again sevral time , file size will reduce and it download only some of it not complete file!
i downloaded several big movie file (2 gig or more) and when i play them it just have 70-80% of playtime!
if you stop and download several times it will break your files!
i bought license but i need to move to another download manager!

In addition there is no icon in the menubar.
Thank you.

I had some trouble with Speeddownload crashing every time it's launched for the first time when I initiate a download with Safari. Since I updated to Safari 5.1.7 with Lion 10.7.4 everything went back to normal. Allelulia

Despite choosing Assign to > All Desktops from the Dock menu, it stays on the desktop it was launched on and ONLY that desktop. Clicking on a download link then results in the active desktop being switched to wherever SD has its window. It's a total pain.
Would be nice if it could have an option to start up in mini-mode, too.
(Also, the bandwidth throttle goes up to 1000K/s. I wish I could download that fast — my connection tops out at 180K on a good day! It would be better if we could set our maximum download speed, then have the slider set options between 0 and that speed…)

Further, the forums at Yazsoft have been locked precluding any user feedback or community interaction on this or other issues.
From a customer relations standpoint, would be great to hear from the developer about the SD programming challenges posed by Safari 5.1.

Crashes on launch on my Leopard install, which is odd, because usually, versions of apps for Snow Leopard and later have an icon with a translucent "No symbol" overlaid, and display a compatibility message when one tries to launch them.

Something dreadfully wrong with today's update.
It is not only non-functional on my iMac Quad Core, not launching, but it blocks ALL D/L's
from happening !
+69
but I booted my Quad Core iMac off of a 16 GB Flash Drive
where I had installed a TechToolPro5.0.7.
The volume directory had some corruption.
Repaired/Replaced.
Mac Redux.
All is well now.
