Was fast at first now slow
gtitus09September 20, 2014
Pros
Initially it was fast. Easy to use. Free.
Cons
Not so fast now.
Summary
when I used this the last few days it downloaded files fairly quickly. Now this morning it said it would take 20 minutes to download a 37 MB file. I tried twice to do it and the same thing, so I switched to Firefox's regular download mgr. It took 5 minutes. I don't know why it worked at first and now it doesn't, but oh well. It was free.
won't work with Mozilla 17.0.1

Pros
previously worked perfectly
Cons
stooped working with Mozilla 17.0.1 and when I submitted a report to west byte their server crashed before I got a reply to my post. I have been a paid owner of the pro version for many years. this is my first major let down.
Summary
I hope west byte gets this fixed right away, as I never plan to use internet explorer if I can avoid it. my version is 5.13.3.1321
The first program to be installed on new OS Windows.
