YOXI  1.1.11 crashes on me, displays nonsense in the filename column. 1.1.10 worked fine (in snow leopard).

STONETOWNMIKE  First-rate download manager with outstanding support. An email to the developer about an installation problem was responded to instantly.

RPITCAIRN  I have been using Speed Download lite for several months. Have not been able to get it to work properly during this time. Once open, is fine, but will not open on its own and has to be manually opened. I have done many cleanup procedures, permissions, TechTool Pro, DiskWarrior, posted on the user forum about this. The developer asked me (twice) to list all the internet plugins and input managers for the system and also me as a user which I have done. Tedious but listed them all. The response was to remove some of them and SD will work for about 2 days and then once again will not open. If I post about this a third time then I will have to go through the same procedure — listing, eliminating, etc.

I have today removed it from my computer as too difficult and too time consuming to try to get it to work. Should not be this hard. Seems to me if there is some conflict somewhere (with input managers or internet plugins) there should be some info on this or some way to solve it without taking so much of my time. All in all, a frustrating experience.

RPITCAIRN  Follow up on this post, a later date, using Snow Leopard and, of course, newer versions. Of late (last couple of months) SD now opening on downloads — most of the time. Now and then I have to manually start it but it seems to be working better. I am leaving it open most of the time too so maybe that is the difference. I like it's functions and this has been the biggest frustration to me. That is now will open a relief.

FREEDMAN  Developer responded to my comment (see reply below) and advised that a revised version is now posted for download. Problem solved.

FREEDMAN  This new version continually prompts to upgrade component plug-ins every time it launches. Clicking the upgrade button does nothing. The support forum recognizes that this has been a problem with past versions, but offers no help. Emailing using the developer's website contact form yielded no response. Aside from this very annoying glitch, the program works fine.

YAZSOFT SUPPORT  I don't recall seeing any email from you. Regardless, this issue has already been addressed. There was a glitch in the first build we uploaded. Simply re-download this version from our website and replace the one you currently have. That should do it. For further assistance, you may reach me at info@yazsoft.com at anytime.

Thanks,

Johnny

STONETOWNMIKE  I had a problem installing the newest update to Speed Download Lite. Emailed tech support and received a reply within a couple of hours. The next morning an email was waiting for me with a link to a bugfix build. Terrific support for a first-rate program. Consider this a rave review.

MICHEL GIN  I totally second what PANDITHAN said

Since I'm usind Speed Download, no more stress about losing a big download before the end. I can come back and keep downloading from where I was.

The perfect tool ! I advise anybody to buy it ! It worth the small price !

And people at Yazan are very friendly.

PANDITHAN  I've been a registered user of Speed Download since Version 3 ever since I found Version 2 to be most useful. Although I've upgraded to full Version 5, I've taken advantage of the recent 1-for-1 promo to buy SD Lite 1.0.1, so that I now have 2 registered copies, one for iMac and the other one for MBP. SDL is ideal for me since I use SD only for downloads. SD and SDL are exceptionally fast and the user interface is typically Mac, i.e. completely intuitive. The info on screen is just what is needed. Best of all, SD is activated automatically when I click download on any webpage in Safari. By placing in the sidebar an alias of the SD folder created by SD in the Documents folder, I can easily retrieve the downloaded documents by clicking on the alias in any file window. I don't normally pay for shareware unless it is of frequent practical use. SD is one my few can't-do-withouts.

HYM4596  Absolutely the most powerful download manager on Mac platform. Fast and easy. A can-do-without for my RapidShare downloading.

I have tried a few other applications. But none could match Speed Download's features and convenience.

Two licenses for $20, sweet! Support team is great too.
