Speed Download 5.0

[hac]

This is sort of a fast review for Speed Download, a multipurpose file sharing application.

Speed Download has four main features:

1. It downloads files, and very quickly, too. I have it set up on my computer to automatically open when I download a file in Safari. This can save a lot of downloading time. Honestly, it's really fast.
2. It's a fully functional FTP and SFTP client. The FTP client has a file browser that's pretty unique from what I've seen; you can view the file trees of both your computer and the remote server side by side, with disclosure (flippy) triangles, just like in Finder's list view.
3. It also apparently now supports encrypted peer-to-peer file sharing, which I haven't tried yet. From the web site: "Easily share any file you download, receive, or keep on your Mac with any other Speed Download user on your local network (via Bonjour) or remotely securely, easily, and with 1-click."
4. Another feature, that I also haven't tested, is iDisk integration. The interface appears to be identical to the one for FTP, though.

Does anybody else here use Speed Download? I use it mostly just for the speedy downloads, (as the name implies) but also sometimes for FTP if I'm moving a lot of files around. Yeah, it costs $25 USD, but I got it with a MacHeist bundle I believe.
