"The fastest, and most complete download manager for Mac OS X," Speed Download has reached version 5.1.2, adding changes to complement the Safari 4 Beta, as well as a couple of other hefty enhancements. The Yazsoft-developed application requires Mac OS X 10.4.11 or later and can be tried out for free in Trial mode.

Speed Download 5 is optimized for any Internet connection (dial-up or broadband), and it can collect and organize all your downloads. A clean interface with various view modes, a re-engineered “universal” download engine optimized for maximum performance, a powerful database to manage all downloads, uploads, and file transfers, Mac iDisk integration and auto-resuming file transfers are just some of the noteworthy features in Speed Download 5. A new, fully featured, built-in FTP client has been added in the first stable release of Speed Download 5. It uses encrypted file sharing between SD5 users.

With the release of Speed Download 5.1.2, Yazsoft has “turbo-charged” the download manager and optimized it for Safari 4 Beta, while adding support for GRX files. Additionally, the team of developers behind Speed Download have enhanced YouTube compatibility.

Using Speed Download requires any Internet connection and a Mac OS X-compatible Internet browser. Speed Download is a Universal Binary, meaning both Intel and PowerPC processors are supported.
