I've been using this great soft for heaven knows how many years now (perhaps even since the demise of Monica) and haven't had a problem with it once. Not sure what the frequent updates are all about, but they don't seem to make any diff to how it behaves on my system. Good work, guys!

Works for me under Lion, but with one MAJOR irritation.
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…)

SD fails to intercept any DLs whatsoever. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall but no no avail. Support hasn´t answered my questions on the matter which is very disappointing.

According to the Yazsoft forums this seems to be a Lion compatibility issue. Well, Lion was released six months ago …
They should eliminate the FTP client, the WEBDAV client, the file sharing stuff (I already have applications for all this!) and concentrate on the download functionality.
Going back to jDownloader which works nicely with its automatic clipboard watching plus a lot of other goodies.
(BTW, it seems, Speed Download doesn’t even have a clipboard watcher …)

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.

Tried iGetter before, it worked for it. But because of today's promo, bought Speed Download.

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 !
+71
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.

Thank you for your follow-up.
