Fulfilling two more major user requests, Leech 1.1.2 adds Firefox integration and Growl support.

Firefox integration is based on Giorgio Maone’s excellent FlashGot Firefox/download manager hub. FlashGot is a free Mozilla/Firefox/Flock/Thunderbird extension (compatible with Netscape too), meant to handle single and massive (“all” and “selection”) downloads with several external download managers. A version that supports Leech will be released as early as today. And once you have installed both Leech 1.1.2 and that new FlashGot version, you’ll be able to choose Leech as your Firefox download manager from FlashGot’s preferences.

As far as Growl support ist concerned, Growl will notice Leech when you launch Leech 1.1.2 for the first time. And once Leech has appeared in Growl’s preferences pane, you can configure it just like any other Growl-enabled application.

And by the way: Both FlashGot and Growl are donationware projects. If you use them regularly, please consider supporting ongoing development with your donation.
