For Omniusers it's slow. - Yazsoft

Lex Luther: You have already posted a similar message on MacUpdate, and the MacUpdate admins have banned your post for being utter non-sense. Posting utter non-sense in order to confuse other users will get you no-where.

You start off your posting completely wrong to begin with. Your subject line states that For Omniusers it's slow. I'll take the liberty and correct that statement:
For Omniusers, SD 3 will not work

The Omniweb 5.1 issue has been dealt with a long time ago, had you bothered to check our site. This is old news. The problem is not with SD 3, but rather Omniweb. SD 2.3.8 works perfectly with Omniweb.

Also, as far as your insinuations that SD's file sharing mechanism is some form of spyware; it's clear that you also lack the simple understanding of how the file sharing mechanism works. It's also very clear that you have never used it or even checked the documentation to see how it works.

Speed Download never has and never will install spyware on any machine. Speed Download has also been tested and awarded specifically on that basis.

Again, based on your history of postings on MacUpdate, it is clear that your intentions are less than noble and that you clearly intend to mislead other users.

If anyone has any questions regarding SD, please feel free to contact us at anytime at info@yazsoft.com. SD has been downloaded over 3M times and is used successfully everyday by many.

Thanks for your attention.

For Omniusers it's slow. - Lex Luthor

"For Omniusers it's slow" was a title suggesting that SD 3 is
taking it's time coming for Omniusers. If you read my
review you might have noticed...
"as an Omniweb 5.1 user I have yet to be able to test run
speedownload" and it's not Omni's fault that a download manager
doesn't work with it, it's the developers job if he has a tagline like
yours: "Seamless integration with all popular Mac OS X browsers"

A downloader that has the ability to upload any file on a users hard
drive is putting our trust in the developer to not have included a
backdoor - I have seen nothing in your companies attitude to
prove that trust. All I have seen is you get very flustered by a
bad review.

I was looking for a download tool and after reading the latest
MacUser review which gave your app a less than prestigious 3
out of five stars and the fact that your app is such a mishmash.
It doesn't know what it is either, and as a speedier downloader
it is nothing of the sort. For those reasons I will not be recommending
your utility either.

Again, if you bother to read the info on our website, you would understand what is meant by that statement and why Omniweb doesn't work with SD 3 yet. We make no statement we don't back up. If you choose to make your own assumptions then that's something we have no control over. It is our job to make sure that other users are not mislead by your misrepresentations.

As for the incompatibility, no one is at fault. The reason is doesn't work (YET) is simply because of Omniweb's current lack of support for the modern
plugin-api structure used by SD 3.

Wrong (again!)

You keep proving over and over that when it comes to this, you're still misinformed. Speed Download doesn't open any backdoor. The uploading featureset is for someone that wishes to transfer a file to someone else. Again, this does not happen anonymously, automatically, or in the background. This action has to be authorized (username/passowrd) by the remote party, and initiated manually by the sending party, and is visible to all.

See, informing yourself (at least at a minimum level) who help calm down your extreme paranoia and makes sure you don't post things that simply don't make any sense.

No one is forcing you to trust anyone. However, Speed Download has been reviewed by lots of reputable sources including Softpedia that specifically checks for apps containing spyware/malware, and if there was a problem, we'd be the first to know about it, trust me!

If the level of trust is such a concern to you, then you shouldn't be using the internet at all, since there are TONS of things you will never have control over that go on behind the scenes (your ISP logs all your activities, all your email passwords are sent in clear text, how do you know what information is gathered from your machine when you access any website? etc, etc, etc. )

Not all software is meant to be for everyone.
