Using Speed Download for the first time
Important note: You must only have ONE copy of the Speed Download folder (the latest version) on your computer. It is highly recommended that you place that folder in the 'Applications' folder on your hard disk.
When you run SD for the first time, it will prompt you for your setup type: this is where you choose how you would like to use Speed Download. With 'Automatic', SD automatically intercepts all files you are trying to download. It is the method we recommend for optimal use. Regardless, if you would like to control what SD downloads, simply pick 'Manual'. Under 'Manual' mode, files are sent to SD via the contextual menu, or by simply dragging and dropping a file URL onto the Speed Download window, or the Floater.
You are now ready to start using Speed Download!
