[Frank]

Run SSL Download Manager

[Bapu]

Updated/Installed!

[Tommy Byrnes]

Yay! The update last week made the CPU go bonkers. I reverted back to the previous version. I figured SSL would fix it but that was pretty quick!

looks like SSL are now forcing you to use their download manager !  has anyone got a direct link ?

EDIT

found it - under the "support" part of their website - annoying !

I must be the only one that actually likes download managers?

[mibby]

Nope - and this one in particular was very welcome and badly needed!

Yeah, I've resigned myself to using them. 

This one was a pleasant surprise.

I'm totally into dowmload managers. Is there a 12 step group for us?

I think they are a bit of mixed bag - some good and some bad. 

For example Native Access V1 was great for me but the latest V2 (3.4!) is totally appalling in every way - running a CPU hogging service the ENTIRE time you have your PC on - plus often fails to connect.   The development team behind that should hand their heads in shame  

The Steinberg one is a bit a of a liability too !

Thank goodness for Toontrack  

Even the good ones are probably very annoying if you only have one or two plugins from the developer though.

I really like download managers that *also* (optionally) tell me what I don't own. IKM Custom Shop comes to mind.

although IKM installers tend to install everything wether you own it or not - which more than offsets any convenience IMO.

plus they charge for 'expired' downloads.

So in summary: total fail

IIRC The Custom Shop does not install everything, only that which you own. You can however "try" things you do not own.

dunno ? 

I think their download manager is now called IKM installation manager  ?- and if you install something like T-Racks or Amplitube then everything gets installed even if it's not licensed.

Fortunately Amplitube 5 allows you to hide the unlicensed stuff.

Arguably that's a problem with their installer packages and not the download manager ? - but they still charge for 'expired' downloads

Overloud needs a download manager!

Each version of Amplituble seems to install everything they have released at that point.  It then just communicates to the mothership how much white noise it wants to play periodically until you get so fed up you buy it to make it stop.
