(Version 0.9.2)

JAMSOFT  Leech is a great little app – It's lightweight, fast, stable, and most importantly it just works.

I've repeatedly tried other download managers in the past (Speed download, iGetter, Download Wizard, etc.) and I always found myself uninstalling them because their 'cons' far outweighed any 'pros'. They were everything I didn't want in a download manager: overly complex, clunky, intrusive, required excess system resources, and they were unstable to the point that it even caused other applications to crash.

Pros:

- Lightweight & fast

— Stable

- Automatically integrates with Safari/Firefox's cookies, authenticated sessions, and stored passwords. In other words, downloading files from a website that you're a member of (i.e. a premium RapidShare account) automatically works without you having to mess around with setting up or configuring any tedious rules.

- Plenty of user controllable features & settings (i.e. automatically resize download window, private downloading, user definable rules, etc.)

- It just works.

Cons:

- Doesn't seem to properly work on a couple sites.

— Could use a few more features.

Suggestions:

– It'd be nice if Leech would preserve the "Where from:" URL like Safari does when you download a file. (You can view it in the Finder's "Get Info" window under the "More Info:" tab.)

– Leech (or any download manager for that matter) can always be optimized even further. It'd be great if Leech honed in on maximizing your download speed.

Conclusion:

If you download files on a regular basis (whether it's apps, music, movies, or anything else) I highly recommend you give Leech a try!

JAMSOFT  [ Website ]

— Pros: Overall it's just such a great concept that really works well.

— Cons: Selecting Bold/Italic on highlighted text actually applies those changes to the entire note. It'd be nice to have little more control over this.

[ Dashboard Widget ]

The online sticky notes are great, and the widget just seems like an added bonus. I would, however, suggest implementing a faster/quicker solution for viewing all of your other sticky notes. Currently I must flip the widget over and back again just so I could view a different note.

Anyway, thanks for all of your hard work and already for the great progress you've made. I really hope this 'takes off' :-)

Thanks,
