Speed downloader

You might find the following of intrest. I download demo, the speed downloader, from the Apple site.
I did not activate it after the 30 day free use. I then found that I could not start some downloades from certain WEB sites, e.g HP printer updates, some widgets. However Microsoft worked.
The problem was that in the LIBRARY folder, in the INTERNET-PLUGINS, was the Speed Downloader plug-in.
I removed it to the Trash, and this solved the problem. All downloads from every WEB sites now work with no problems.

Inability to download using Safari is often due to an incomplete uninstall of Speed Download, either because a demo expired or because the application file was deleted without removing all of its files.
You found the file that causes the problem. The usual recommendation is to run Speed Download's uninstaller, which will remove all of the program's files and return the ability to download normally.

    Downloaded much and now can not see how to fix it?

    I hate the new downloads-in-a-tab scheme. This was an unnecessary change in my book (if it aint broke, don't "fix it").
    So in order to get it back, I performed the about:config browser.download.useToolkitUI change, but now all I get is a blank download window that pops up every time I download something.
    Is there something else that I need to do? I've checked the change and it was saved, but it didn't resolve my issue as much as it just caused me a new issue.

  • Firefox used to download with Speed download along with other browsers, but since updating to version 6.0.2 it no longer does so; OS Z 10.6.8 and Speed Download v 5.2.28; what do I need to adjust and how, to get it working 'in the team' again, please?

    I have had problems with Safari and OS 10.6.8 (I think caused by Apple getting ready for Lion!) but after a lot of uninstalling etc I now have Safari, Camino and Chrome (all most recent versions) automatically sending downloads to Speed Download.
    Speed Download Plugin v 2.1.5 is installed; I do not know what or where to adjust or reset to get Firefox letting its downloads be picked up automatically once again like the other three browsers.

    Lightning is a problem for you because it hooks into Thunderbird at a low level and you need a version compiled for the platform Thunderbird is running on. So you can't do the preferred solution, which is to put your whole profile in a shared folder and have both instances of Thunderbird reference the same profile. (Ditto for Enigmail). Lightning may become an integral part of Thunderbird in an upcoming release, at which point this limitation due to Lightning should disappear.
    And if you can't use a shared profile, you can't set your Lightning, or your Address Book, to share a common set of files. Put another way, the linkage from Thunderbird to its address book files and calendar data is hard-coded, and not exposed where we can adjust it. :-(
    The halfway house is to place your mail stores in a shared place, and use the Local Directory setting in each account's settings to connect to it. They don't need to be in the profile; what's more important in your case is that they are in a folder accessible to both operating systems.
    Look in your profile; everything under Mail and ImapMail needs to be moved out to a shared folder. Note the entries in Thunderbird under Local Directory before you do this, and reconstruct those pathnames in Thunderbird, but adjusted to suit their new locations.
    (You can see here that you need to make many adjustments, one per account, in each instance of Thunderbird, so it's a high-maintenance solution and this is why we don't recommend it when the alternative, moving the whole profile, is possible.)
    I share address books and calendars between Thunderbirds on various computers (and my phone and tablet) by syncing to something in the cloud; Google Contacts and Google Calendar are my choices, using gContactSync and CalDav.
    Having made the break myself some years ago, I'd recommend you break away from Windows. ;-)

  • Speed Download 4.1.12 interfering with Safari 3 Public Beta

    I recently tried speed download 4.1.12, and it worked fine for the duration of the 21 day trial. After the trial, I decided not to purchase it and since it came up every time i tried to download something, I deleted the speed download application. Now that it is deleted, I cannot seem to download anything using safari. For example, when i tried to download TheFilter from the apple site, Safari just quit and the download did not occur. Similarly, I cannot seem to download anything by clicking on links on sites. I was wondering what I can do to restore safari to its normal pre speed download condition.

    I think Safari Beta has an uninstall feature, while not certain, I read that it reenables Safari 2.
    You don't have Firefox or IE as a backup eh?
    As a precaution, you might do AppleJack first... if you can get it...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.

  • How can I get Firefox to pass its downloads to Speed Download as all the other browsers do (it used to be able to do this)?

    Until a few months ago All our browsers could automatically pass their downloads to "Speed Download" for downloading, very handy to have them all working in one place.
    Now after recent updated in the last six months or so Firefox alone no longer does this but insists on using its own download setting.
    how can I get it to respond to Speed Download as before, along with Google Chrome, Camino and Safari?

    Have you tried the update to Fast Dial, version 4.2.1 or later? It should override the built-in new tab page: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fast-dial-5721/ ''(Note: I haven't tested it myself)''
    If you are using a similar add-on that isn't the same "Fast Dial", which one is it?

  • Why does Firefox v 7.0 no longer pass downloads to Speed Download?

    All my Browsers worked with Speed Download v. 5.2.28 doing the downloading for them (installed are Safari 5.0.5, Chrome 14, and Camino 2.0.9), but since updating to v 7.0 Firefox no longer seems to allow the downloads to be handled by SpeedDownload.

    Go to ADVANCE then UPDATE and '''''uncheck''''' automatically download and install the update.
    thank you

  • Download Errors : Speed Download

    Recently, origin unknown, my laptop has stopped recognizing downloads. The error message specifically refers to Speed Download :
    Speed Download cannot be opened because of a problem.
    Check with the developer to make sure Speed Download works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X.
    Please advise.

    Get rid of Speed Download as fast as you can. It causes nothing but trouble.
    If as Bee suggests you try the Uninstaller and it doesn't work, you may have to install Speed Download again. Once you have installed again then run the Uninstaller once again.
    I know when I tested it on my system, I had an extremely difficult time getting rid of it. Their tech support was totally worthless. They insisted that it was the greatest thing going. They were more like used cars salesmen rather then any kind of support.
    It was someone on this forum that suggest I install again and then uninstall it. That worked for me.

  • I have new mac the speed download is very slow

    i have new mac the speed download is very slow please let me know.

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you also have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • How can I get rid of speed download without the uninstaller?

    Having trouble downloading, and reading that speed download could be the problem, I trashed it. The trouble is, I trashed the uninstaller along with everything else. Is there anyway to get rid of speed download? Safari quits when I try to download something, like a widget.
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    You're welcome. Glad to have helped.

  • Low speed download

    I bought a macbook pro retina 13 few weeks back, every thing was ok till I realise the very bad speed download.
    I have an 8 Mb speed internet connection and I'm usually using wifi, with my old PC win 7 I'm reaching easly 1 Mb/s of speed download.
    with my new macbook pro I'm surprised to have juste 300 kb/s and dropping till reaching 60 to 70 kb/s.
    this problem was reported by several personnes, and as I understand the problem is with mountain lion version, and no real solution is available to fix it.
    and the solution remain with apple, then any plan to fix it? any update scheduled?
    spending 1700 USD for a laptope to continue using my old win7 PC for downloading???

    oldink76,
    if your MacBook Pro’s connection to your router is over wi-fi rather than over wired Ethernet, then it’s not surprising that elevating its antenna (which is behind the display) could help. Enjoy the speed!

  • Backup Speed Download data

    How to backup Speed Download preferences data?
    I need to reinstall it. And I don't want to lose any of my preferences

    Hi iUnique;
    I think the best thing I ever did with Speed Download was to dump it and forget about it. All it it ever did was cause me problems.

  • ITunes speed download is very slow

    I have a 2.13 GB download of real steel from iTunes store SD.
    The download speed is average 2.0 MB per second
    The Comcast Internet high-speed test is 11 MB per second during download but 22 MB per second with nothing downloading.
    So how do I increase my 2.0 MB per second Internet connection with iTunes.apple.com to 11 MB per second?

    Additional comments of hardware specifications:
    Mac Mini second-generation Standard configuration of $799
    (I'm guessing a fourth-generation will not solve the problem)
    LAN connection to Comcast high-speed Internet triple play $119

  • Speeding download of large sized file

    Hi,
    I could really use some help. Im stumped. Im using Livecycle Designer ES and have a large form with a lot of graphics (~15 MB), Im planning on emailing it to customers, but its so large it is impractical. Ive tried getting rid of objects but am down to the core information so cant reduce the size that way. 2 questions:
    1) Is there a way within Livecycle or through publishing in Acrobat that I can significantly further reduce the size of the file? Ive read the Adobe documentation and have already tried their suggestions (e.g. using one of the supported fonts instead of embedding a font, etc.)
    2) If I cant significantly reduce the file size, is there a way that I can do something to make the user not wait as long for a download? I had 2 ideas but dont know if they are at all doable:
    a. Package the pdf file with a download accelerator that will work just for that file to speed up the download, and doesnt need a separate installation. Does anyone know if there is such a product?
    b. Split the large pdf file into sections. Have the user download the first section. While s/he is filling that out, in the background be downloading the next section, and so on. If this is programmable, could someone explain how to approach it.
    Thanks very much for any help with this. This is a great forum.

    Hallo David,
    the only "improvement" or workaround I see in NW 04 is to use the <b>Web Dynpro Binary Cache</b> to store your large resource. In NW 04s there is a more elegant solution called "on demand streams" but it is not applicable in NW 04.
    <u>Try the following workaround:</u>
    - Do not store your large resource in a context value attribute of type binary (like it is described within the tutorial on <u>FileUp/Download</u> https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d2201c20-0801-0010-49b3-94fca8f590d5)
    - <u>Do not use</u> the <b>FileDownload</b> UI Element
    - Instead use a <b>LinkToURL</b> UI Element and bind it to a context attribute with name 'ResourceURL' of type String. The large resource is not written to the context but it is written to the Web Dynpro Binary Cache as an object of type java.io.InputStream.
    See <i>ExcelExport Tutorial</i> https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/uuid/1208c2cd-0401-0010-4ab6-f4736074acc6
    and the <a href="https://media.sdn.sap.com/javadocs/NW04/SPS15/wd/com/sap/tc/webdynpro/services/sal/url/api/WDWebResource.html">JavaDoc on WDWebResource</a>:
    <i>static IWDCachedWebResource getWebResource(InputStream input, WDWebResourceType resourceType)
    Returns an IWDWebResource for a given web resource.</i>
    - Try IWDCachedWebResource.setAttachement(true)
    - Store the URL of the cached web resource within the context attribute 'ResourceURL' to which the LinkToURL UI Element is bound to.
    Please try out this approach and tell me whether it circumvents your OutOfMemory problem.
    Regards, Bertram

  • Low-Speed download from iTunes in UK

    Hey all,
    recently, i have seen a dramatic fall in the download speed from iTunes.
    I have a 10/2mb line, which runs absolutely fine for everything else.
    Currently, i am downloading an App on 68mb, which currently says it will take 42 mins to download.
    In my calculations, it should only take about 5 minutes as max?

    hello?
    I really want to know! Thanks!
