If I leave my browser open (firefox on an Apple Mac) and leave my computer alone for an hour or so, iGetter launches itself?! I come back to find it's launched itself and downloaded a s***load of odd files.
It's often just html php bin and xml files - they just land in my downloads folder and contain no relevant data.
It's really odd. I use it with the FlashGot plugin for Firefox, but no settings can explain why my Mac suddenly chooses to download a list of different files at random. I'm uninstalling this *censored* NOW.

Couldn't download files or deactivate iGetter

iGetter [free version] for a few thing was extremely fast - I'm talking about 1200 kps! Seriously.
BUT when I placed an online order for and upgrade to Peak Pro 5 and got to the download page, there were big problems. iGetter showed it was trying to download, but Status just showed "waiting" and so after a few attempts I quit iGetter, having turned off Auto first. But then, firefox 2.003 kept opening iGetter and transferring the attempted download to it. Even when I moved iGetter to the trash [ without emptying it] Firefox or my Mac still opened it to try to download with it! I finally uninstalled iGetter, using the uninstaller that they provide. Only then could I download my newly paid for software.
My conclusion is that iGetter has a lot of potential but some big bugs. Maybe I'll try the Speed Download shareware once I lose my fear from being burnt once.

- Use FlashGot extension
Al least I only had to pay for this once, where as Speed Download charged me for version 3 then version 4, and now wants my to pay for version 5, no thanks. AND nothing has changed, just the version number.
I'm back to using iGetter. The application starts up twice as fast as Speed Download and has way faster downloads.
It even reacts faster when called upon, do your own bench test, you'll see.
