In Principle, I agree, but it's not like they've been extremely fast to adapt to Lion or Firefox 5+.
3 months can be quite long. Anyway, I'll be ready to pay soon.

iGetter support states "Current iGetter version should work fine on Lion. However, v2.8.7 is not compatible with Safari 5.1 and Firefox 5". Since Safari 5.1 is part of Lion this means that it does not work yet. Presenta offers a silly workaround which includes turning off the features that I suspect most users took advantage of to make iGetter useful. Here is a link to the Presenta Bulletin Board regarding Lion:

Does what I want, i.e. 'only' downloading for Safari and other browsers.

By the way, if anyone's wondering about the not really stellar overall rating of 3.5 stars: the 1-star ratings are on page start on page 3 or 4, back in 2005. iGetter never got to v.3, so it's all accumulated since I-don't-know-how-early.

Love this app. It fulfills my needs for a download manager. Integrated well with Firefox, that's enough.

I like this app very much.

But recently I got aware of a problem with iGetter: sometimes it makes troubles with the permissions of downloaded files, namely apps and installers.

So if you encounter problems like quitting installers or apps refusing to launch (those recently loaded with iGetter), give Safari a try for those troublesome files.

Most likely, this problem is due to the apps or installers being distributed without packaging in either a disk image or zip archive. When downloaded "naked", apps can lose data forks or attributes (sorry, I don't know all the details), which would cause the behavior you describe.

Have you tried downloaded the same files with something else, like Safari, and seeing if the problem persists?

I've been using iGetter since the beginning. Excellent downloader.
Just a small request: integration with Chrome. Sometimes works (the copy link feature), sometimes not... Please.
Thanks !

I have already reviewed iG (under the name "Anonymous", strangely taken meanwhile by another user) and I could say how much I like it.

To me the only important thing still missing in iG is the possibility to change the default cookie source. Until now, Safari is the only default "option" and does not address well the cookies for iG.
So, I have to modify each download to replace the cooky source from Safari to Camino.

I guess that it should not be very difficult to allow choosing another default browser. PLEASE RECTIFY !

I love iGetter, but ever since Tiger I can't get right-click contextual menus to work with Safari anymore at all. So unfortunately, I can't use it until this is fixed.

Seems as tho PithHelmet and iGetter don't like each other. Safari contextual menus don't work if you have iGetter contextual menus activated, so make sure that's turned off if you use both apps.

I hope this is fixes, because I really miss iGetter's Download All feature.
