PithHelmet
Aug 29 2009

EXCOMAX  Well... SIMBL works with 10.6 (I have other SIMBL-Hacks running in my Snow Leopard Safari). You just have to run Safari in 32-bit. So hopefully there will be a new Pithhelmet for Safari on SL any time soon.

EXCOMAX  This is by far the best solution I've ever found for invoicing. I used TimeLog from Mediaatelier quite some time and loved it's ease of use. And now there's TimeLogs new best friend and from the first moment I saw it I was impressed.

Not only it imports all logged data from TimeLog. With just one click you can have all tasks invoiced and sent to your customers. The templates for your invoices are completely customizable. So they fit your needs 100%!

And another big plus for this app is the developer. He's so damn responsive - I haven't seen that before very often. Although it's still in beta stage, I already paid for it. It the best program of it's kind so far for the Mac.

EXCOMAX  Oh a really big sorry for any complains! I've just overseen that point! That way everything is just as it should be.

Once again: Sorry! I take back all I said.

Speed Download Lite
Jun 12 2008

EXCOMAX  Well, that's right. But what if I'd prefer the Lite-version because of it's UI. I like SD5 as it's really fast. But I prefer an UI which is as simple as possible. That's why I switched to Leech lately. But now a clutter-free version of a program I already paid for is available and I can't use it without paying again? I don't see why I should pay again for something I already own just to have less functionality. Functionality I never used before in SD5. That's the point I don't get.

And it isn't like SD5 is years old. It's was just released some months ago. So I paid for SD4 and SD5 and now again for SDL1?! No, that's not what I think about user-friendlyness... (If this is an existant word in English ;) )

EXCOMAX  So... As registered SD5-user I have to pay again for what seems to be the exact same program with less features?! This is kind of weird...

MACUPDATE ADMIN  No, you do not have to pay again for anything, just keep using your non-lite Speed Download 5.

MEEGO  Just my 2cts, but you can't expect Yaz to give you a license for the lite version on the basis that you bought the standard version. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure that if you ask them, they'll make a commercial gesture.

YAZSOFT SUPPORT  If you are a registered Speed Download 5 user, you do not need to repurchase Speed Download Lite if you don't want to.

If you are a registered Speed Download 5, you can easily convert SD5 into SDL if you prefer the minimalist approach of SDL. Here's how (I will be posting this on our support page as well later on today).

Step 1: Go under the Speed Download menu and choose 'Switch to Simple mode'.

This will hide and deactivate everything except the download manager part of Speed Download (even in the preferences - just like SDL)

Step 2: http://yazsoft.com/content/supportpages/customize.html

Speed Download is an extremely customizable download manager in terms of both features and interface. While the iTunes-like UI is a huge hit, its understandable that not everyone might like it and as such, we have made sure to allow as much flexibility as possible for tailoring the interface to each person's liking.

Hope that helps. As usual, we are always available via email as well.

YAZSOFT SUPPORT  No apology necessary; I should have made sure that this info was a little easier to find :-)

Thank you for your continued support and happy Speed Downloading.

Leech
May 15 2008

EXCOMAX  Okay, years ago, when I used to do my work on Windows-PCs, I had LeechGet installed. A really good download manager. Then, after switching to Mac, I looked around and found SpeedDownload, which is a really good download manager. But there are way too much options in it that clutter up the window. But it's cool. So I paid for SD4 and then SD5. And now I fell in love with Leech. The first moment I saw it I knew that Leech has it. It has everything I need. A clean interface nice auto clearing of the DL-list, closing after successful download... But version 1.0 had to flaws that made Leech a bit less useful: No direct browser integration and no possibility to set up rules. So I wrote to the developer. And I hadn't expected such a quick reply and shortly after that, Leech 1.1 has both functions built in. Now I can switch to Leech and don't have to cry one tear for SpeedDownload. The best thing is the switcher-discount. Instead of really cheap 9,95€ Leech is just 6,95€. Great!

I recommend that download manager to everyone who likes clean and fast UIs without the need of an built in ftp- or p2p-client.

Just one more thing would be fine as I realize now by using it as main program for downloads: Growl integration would be the top of all. I think I should ask for it. ;)

ROD76  I've also been a Speed Download user and have upgraded through several versions. But like you I've grown tired of its large and clunky interface and general bloat. I appreciate your review and am getting rid of Speed Download and upgrading to a cleaner/simpler program Leech (just get it done download manager). Thanks for your comments, they were a big help!
