Download Wizard ReviewBugs - Version: 1.6b22, 3/6/2005 12:41AM PST

Thetan1--2008
I like the idea of resuming downloads, but this program has some bugs. When using VersionTracker to download, the program presents download loop errors for every file I downloaded. I does download the file but it shouldn't get drug into the loop. A normal download using Camino doesn't do this. The save as window lists the file name as the whole path plus the name. This is confusing. If you leave it alone the file goes to the path location and saves a file with just the name. If you delete the path part, the file appears to download but disappears. It can't be found with a search. You should add a save to location pref separate from the save as, if you aren't going to use the system default. Using Version tracker I can't find a URL to paste that will download the file I want to get. It downloads the redirect page. All this said, I think the program has potential.

The crash on startup when upgrading from older versions should be fixed as of 1.6b19 and higher.

Download Wizard Troubleshooting Reportfix for crashing on launch - Version: 1.6b19, 2/17/2005 11:47AM PST

I had a previous version of DLW and replacing it with b18 caused DLW to crash upon launch consistently. Deleting the com.whizzoconsulting.DownloadWizard.plist fixed this behavior.
