GOLDYN CHYLD  Is it possible to make SD go to the Floater mode right away, i.e. immediately when you click on whatever link you want to download in Safari? Or do you always have to manually "Toggle Floater"?

YAZSOFT SUPPORT  Absolutely.

Do this:

- Launch SD and click on the green zoom button in the upper left hand corner.

- This will put you in Floater mode

- Quit and relaunch SD

Now whenever SD intercepts a download it should always stay in floater mode. Basically, SD remembers what state you left it in.

If you need more help, please email me at info at yazsoft dot com

Best,

PIRX  The developer is right: If you set Floater View it remembers this when opening next time - once. After that, it falls back into default window mode.

THEWIRE  This app do what it says. It will push the downloads to higher speeds and is able to manage two or more downloads at the same time. It is rich feature and very stable, besides works it with any browser.

I have found it that with 3G conectivity (EVDO) Speed Download will push the conection and take advantage of the bandwidth.

It is a must app for me, besides there is a Lite version.

ADONSA  CAMINO

Why is compatibility between Speed Download and Camino being disallowed? Older versions of Speed Download are fully compatible, but not the new version 5.2.7? Why doesn't the Mozilla choice enable Speed Download to respond to Camino?

Is there a plan to reinstate compatibility with Camino? If so, when?

YAZSOFT SUPPORT  I just tried Camino 2 with the latest version of SD (527 as of this post). SD intercepted all files without a problem.

If it's not working for you, please email me at info at yazsoft dot com and I'll be happy to take a look.

Best,

Ein wirklich geniales Programm. Unglaublich schnell und einfach zu handhaben. Außerdem verwaltet es den eigenen Download-Ordner und kann YouTube Videos herunterladen!

Wirklich genial! Fünf Sterne!

DONALD MACKENZIE  This is one of the MUST HAVES for MACOSX - OSX does not offer a download scheduler & this software has done it really well for years now, and it keeps up, promptly with new system releases - in short - GET IT & DON'T BE WITHOUT IT

DAVID DIONNE  I have been using since 2007 with SD 4. The support group has always been responsive and helpful. Recently while running on SD 5 I couldn't download You Tube and their site said I had to have "Starting with Speed Download 5.0.3" Every time I had it check for updates it said I was current. I emailed SD Support and they sent timely (less than 30 minutes for response), accurate instructions. EVerything is working just as advertised.
