Yazsoft did recommend an alternative to Speed Download, but it wasn’t quite the same. The application continued working until OS X El Capitan 10.11, at which point I finally had to say goodbye. But in early 2014, the developer suddenly called it quits. In years past, the choice was simple: Yazsoft’s excellent Speed Download tackled everything you could throw at it with a familiar, iTunes-style user interface.
But if you frequently pull down multiple things at once, you could certainly benefit from a management utility.
Think you don’t need extra software for managing internet downloads? If your web browser gets only an occasional workout transferring files one at a time, you’re probably right.
