MITCH_K This (May 15) version (0.8.235.329) crashes upon launch. The crash report states Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libproc.dylib Referenced from: /Applications/Utilities/Folx.app/Contents/MacOS/Folx.real 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.)

SUCKERPUNCH86 A free download manager is what was missing. If Windows could have so many of them, it's high time that the Mac did. Stable and easily integrates with Firefox and Safari, and able to detect links when needed. I'd highly recommend this to anyone!

MACONNECT This application is fantastic ! You can even limit the download speed, which is exactly what I need at the moment. But you can't add several links at once, so if you have 10 links you'll have to manually add them

MATTHEW FIELD It really needs a bypass/disable mode. Maybe by right clicking on the dock icon or on the floating status graph. As it is if the downloader is trying to download something you don't want downloading - like an embedded quicktime movie, the only way I can find to prevent it, and allow the webpage to work the way it should, is to uninstall the application. Previous download managers I have used always had a temporary disable option.

THREEDEE912 Nice app. A tad heavy on the UI candy, but still functions pretty well. Relatively easy to use, not bloated like some other dl managers, and it's free!

ROBOTANK I liked some things about this app, but a couple things were aggravating enough that I won't use it at this point. Having said that, it's only fair to wait until this app is out of the beta phase before forming a final opinion. The main purpose of this post is to let people know how to properly uninstall this app, since I couldn't find this information anywhere on the developer's site or forums. This app installs a plugin called FolxNetscapePlugin.plugin (or something similar, I can't remember exactly) in both ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins and in Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins to allow it to intercept downloads from any web browser. This is fine, except that the app doesn't tell you at any point that it's doing this. So, if you uninstall it without removing these files, you won't be able to download anything from a browser because the plugin will intercept it but the app won't be there to pass it on to. Simply delete these plugins and restart your browser to return to normal operation. I hope the developer will be more forthcoming with this information in the future.
