Newly Updated Mac Apps - Speed Download, Transmission

Two third-party applications have received important updates recently, Softpedia is pleased to inform. Yazsoft’s Speed Download Lite 1.1.16 adds better handling of GRX files and other tweaks and fixes, while Transmission 1.93 brings nothing but bug fixes, but a truckload of them.

Speed Download Lite is a stripped-down version of Yazsoft’s flagship Mac app, which offers just the download manager – no extra features, like FTP, File Sharing, WEBDAV, etc. According to its makers, the Lite version was created in response to a big demand from users who simply needed a download manager, nothing more, nothing less. The latest revision of Speed Download Lite, version 1.1.16, brings the following changes, Yazsoft reveals:

- Better handling of GRX files;
- Fixed a bug that would cause a Safari crash for some users;
- Fixed a bug that would cause SD to quit when using the 'Add Files from URL' feature;
- SD no longer selects items newly added to the queue from the background;
- Other internal tweaks.

They also included an update to miniupnpc-1.4. Other addressed issues (highlights) are listed below.
