Product Description:

Download Deputy Turbo is a download manager and download accelerator all in one small, convenient package. The Deputy lets you create lists of files you want, then download all the files later. Avoiding surfing downtime while downloading files is just one of the cool features Download Deputy provides. All you have to do to add a file to the download list is copy the link location for the file and paste it into Download Deputy's URL window. You can then catch the next wave, secure in the notion that you can download the file later. Once you're finished surfing, click on Download Deputy's Go button and get yourself some coffee, pardner. Download Deputy is on the trail of each of the packages you've selected. If the site you're trying to download from is busy or unavailable, you can configure Download Deputy to skip that site, retry until it gets through or retry later.

Major Features:

  • Queue-style interface is perfect for power users who love downloading files
  • Download Accelerator: The Multiple Connection Transfer Engine (MCTE) allows for super-duper accelerated download speeds for users with Cable, DSL, Ethernet, LAN or otherwise high-speed Internet connections
  • MaxMyBandwidth: This technology was invented here. Download Deputy Turbo is the first piece of software to use this technology. Basically, Download Deputy Turbo speeds up the transfer of your files by ensuring that your Internet connection is always saturated
  • Proxy/Firewall support: Download Deputy Turbo loads your proxy settings from the Internet control panel and properly supports both HTTP and FTP proxies. No configuration necessary. What could be more simple?
  • Download Deputy Turbo now supports URLs of any length whereas previous versions were limited to URLs of 256 or fewer characters. That means Download Deputy Turbo correctly handles MacDownload.com links

  • Download Deputy Turbo can retry a failed or incomplete download as many times as you choose. You can set the timeout for establishing connections as well as the delay between retries

  • You can schedule each queue window to download whenever you want. If you prefer to download your files automatically overnight, Download Deputy Turbo is the perfect tool
  • Download Deputy Turbo's interface closely mimics the familiar Finder so it's earoceo use
  • For each download queue, you can tell Download Deputy Turbo to automatically perform various post-download tasks, like automatically expanding and decoding your downloads, disconnecting your PPP connection, launching an application (or AppleScript), shutting your Macintosh down, or quitting Download Deputy Turbo entirely

Download Deputy X CommentarySupport and download WARNING - Version: 5.1, 12/29/2004 01:03PM PST

Impossible to reach the Ilesa support by email. Tried for one month without any answers.
Their online shop gives you just a few download retries and then you are out in the cold. (Failed to download myself)
Have payed money for a product that I haven't got, even after one month and many mails. No answer on the phone either.

One tip from me is:
Don't buy this product until they at least show some new activity at their site.
Because if your download fails, forget your money!

This thing basically ruined all my downloads from here on. ever since I installed it, I cannot downlaod anything, it always opens up my script editor instead of following the downlaod links. Very annonying, and I am trying to fix that for months now. Thanks for ruining my system, hope your company does as well as this product :roll:

Overall performance is not very good. Several flaws with Panther / Safari and the plug-in uninstall doesn’t work so you have a lot of problems with this when you first install it and decide not to use it.
