Extremely easy to use. Great work, Apple.

If you got screwed by Yazsoft, by purchasing Speed Download from the MacHeist bundle, use this app.

haha, it's in the hot apps today!

heh, it is understandable ;)

hi i need help.....so i delete speed download lite.....i deleted it without unistalling it..........now i can't download a thing cuz appears a page that says to delete some files or to search the uninstaller......i don't have the uninstaller and i don't even have the files that i must delete................so maybe i must use speed download uninstaller but where to download it??????????? can i have a link pleaaseeeee

Yazsoft screwed MacHeist users, AND changed their upgrade policy without notice. They state anyone who bought Speed Download 4 within Jan and Feb would get a free upgrade to Speed Download 5.

Later, they added a sentence stating the upgrade doesn't apply to MacHeist users, who were told they got "FULL LICENSES", and they purchased them within that time period. This is stupid.

Yazsoft is a shady company, and I wouldn't buy anything from them. Oh, and Speed Download seems a bit overpriced.

If you've installed Speed Download and would like to remove it, consider using the Speed Download Uninstaller (by Yazsoft), on iusethis: http://osx.iusethis.com/app/speeddownloaduninstaller

I wouldn't buy products from this company, because they screwed some users, changed their upgrade policies and charge for almost every minor upgrade (they say it's minor, but one of the biggest changes is the version number).

I used this for several years, but the thing that finally killed it for me was that you can't have 2 copies running on 2 different computers at the same time, even if each is exclusively your computer; iGetter is similar in that regard. If you go out somewhere with your laptop, you'd better make sure you don't have Speed Download still open on your desktop unit or it will refuse to launch on the laptop.

As far as the non-free upgrades go, I wouldn't mind paying for one again if they finally gave the interface a major streamlining. SD5 seems to have a "simple" mini-iTunes controller mode now, but I'm more concerned about the clutter and relative lack of intuitiveness of the main queue window: some things that take one step in browser download windows take several in SD, and the list of suggested apps to open files with never seems to jive with what appears in the Finder or Path Finder (I'm talking about 4, but 5's regular window seems to be fairly similar to 4's in screenshots?).

Right now I'm trying out CocoaWget (free) for longer downloads, but I miss having a browser-independent app that can grab downloads from browsers via an internet plugin.
