Gonzalo (ID: 0000004c5b88c96c) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/06/2024 Loved it! I was struggling to use it as I'm new to this torrent thing but it worked! After several attempts to download a large zip archive with my Mac, I gave it a try to this download manager and I managed to download the file. Very fast speed and succeeded. Only thing it's that when I opened the file it was all codes, but then I clicked "open with" > "archives utility", and all my files were there. Best thing: speed and reliability, at free of charge! Only thing I missed: a short instructions how to use it for new users :)
