    Hey guys.

    When my machine was running snow leopard, my default dowload manager was speed download and it was perfect. It was well integrated with safari and was great when downloading from upload servers such as fileserve, filesonic.

    But since Lion has been out speed download is not actually upto speed with things. For instance, integration with safari is poor and there is no option for SD when right clicking on a link which used to exist on snow leopard.

    I have tried iGetter but it had some random crash issues. So can anyone please let me know what you think is the best download manager currently available for mac os lion? the default download manager on safari sucks big time.

    Thanks in advance

    Just use Chrome. Or Firefox.

    Seriously.
