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.

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 ;) )

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...

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. ;)
