CANOSI  There was only one little problem I was having in version 5 and it was due to a conflict with SD and File Vault and it only effected upgrading. Yazsoft found the problem and corrected it and now everything works great, even upgrades. I am very happy with SD and how it integrates with my browser. I really like how downloaded podcasts are automatically added to iTunes and all the other little features. SD is one of those core apps that I use daily and will always have.  (Version 5.0.5)

No? Sure? Try Floater and see again.

Why not let slim the SD? I would like to trim (I use Xslimmer app) the PPC codes and anothers languages.

Thanks.  (Version 5.0.5)

CHUCK9  What can I say? It started controlling my downloads and has grown to be much more then that, it's become an intricate part of my Mac life. It exceeds the boundaries it started with and now does so much more.

I recommend this product to anyone that sees even just one thing that they like about it because fro there on it becomes a necessity and you see so many other things the program does and ever so smoothly.

Thanks Guys

Chuck

5 stars not enough.  (Version 5.0.5)
