Speed Download 5.0.2 (Mac OS X)

Big lie to users for so long.  

"Fixed: SD no longer prompts about a component update after each restart." In Leopard 10.5.2 with all Apple updates applied as of today, this bug has never been fixed from version 4.x to 5.x. I have been reporting this same bug to Yazsoft for so many times through so many update releases to no avail (don't bother to do it again). Either it is a lie or testing has never been done properly before these releases. In fact the problem is so simple to fix: - Go to Application/Speed Download 5 folder and access package content of application Speed Download application by right clicking on icon and select option Show Package Contents. - Copy and paste (so that file will not be moved) SpeedDownload Browser Plugin.plugin from folder Contents to final place in system folder /Library/Internet Plug-Ins. - Copy and paste folder SpeedDownload Enhancer from folder Contents to final place in system folder /Library/InputManagers. - Close all finder windows and restart Speed Download, no prompt for component update will ever appear again. The cause of problem is these system files never been updated even after update has been executed in Speed Download application (check on dates of files to confirm this fact). Yazsoft's developers do not even know how to copy files properly with administrator right in the application code !! [alert admin]

I have even cleaned up previous installation completely before installing SD 5.0.2. "All…

Is that so ? Then why it is unusable at all.  

"We have put in an immense number of hours to deliver what we think is a truly significant upgrade that all Mac OS X users will enjoy." After downloaded version 5 from yazsoft website, installation and successful registration in Mac OS 10.5.2, there is no way to update required system components and user's preferences. The installation was done twice with previous installation completely removed and cleaned up. No matter how many attempts and reboots, Speed Download…
