Many Tricks
Today we released a minor update to Leech. The only new functionality (which we’re bringing to our other apps as we update them) is in-app product purchasing. This optional feature—you can always buy it through our web site, just as before—saves you a trip to our site to complete your purchase.
Because this in-store feature is brand new, we’d like your help in testing it. We’ve tested it internally, of course, but there’s nothing like a little real-world test to really prove it works. If you’ve been thinking about buying Leech, we’d love it if you’d download this latest version and then buy it using the in-app purchase module.
As our way of saying ‘thank you for the help,’ we’ll give the first 25 purchasers (via the in-app module, of course) a coupon good for 40% off their next Many Tricks’ purchase. That means, for instance, that you could buy Witch for around $11, Name Mangler for $6, and Butler for $12. If you shop using our web store, you can apply that 40% to everything you buy, too.
In addition to the in-app purchasing, we also further improved Leech’s interaction with Path Finder, and squished a couple minor bugs; one related to filenames, the other related to Sparkle. As always, you can visit the release notes page to see all the changes.
Launch Leech and it should inform you of the update, or it you can download it directly from our site.
uhm, yeah…sounds like useless bloat…
i have a serious bug with leech, i already filled a bug report (i actually filled 2 in the last months) but nothing happened. you guys didn’t even respond to my reports / enhancement suggestions. what’s going on?
I see seven open Leech tickets on our support site, all of which I have replied to. There are 26 closed tickets, all of which I have replied to. In my email, I have a handful of Leech bug reports, all of which I have replied to.
May I ask where you filed these bug reports, and what they were about? I pride myself on responding to all customer inquiries and bug reports, so if I missed one, it’s simply an oversight and I’d be glad to reply if you can either point me to the ticket in our system, or to the email you sent me that I didn’t respond to.
thanks;

i wrote a feature request to [email protected] 2 months ago, no response. i’ve just resent it.
the bugreport i wrote was about a really odd behaviour* when clicking on rapidshare links.
*leech AND safari are downloading the same file, resulting in bandwith bisection…
Re-send received (and reply sent). Not sure what happened with the first one, sorry about that.
On the bug report, I can’t find anything in the ticket system searching on ‘rapidshare’ — you should have received an email with a ticket ID. If you did, can you tell me the ticket ID?

FWIW, Rapidshare d’loads work w/o problems here, registered Rapidshare user.
sorry, i couldn’t find an email with a ticketID. i rewrote the ticket. id is 255.
Does Leech works with rapidshare, megaupload and sharing matrix?
thank you
I don’t honestly know the answer to that — some users have reported issues with such services, others have reported that it works fine. But that’s why we offer a free trial, so you can see if it’ll work for you in your situation.

FWIW: Leech works OK here w/ RS & MU
@tom aka tommer
are you a premium member on MU too? i’m just curious because i’m not the only one with problems on MU.com
@blargh:
I do have an account at macuser.com (Bonobo) but it’s been a long time since I wrote something there.
The release notes state “Files are now revealed in Path Finder if Path Finder is set to replace Finder” however when I reveal files from Leech they still show up in Finder. I do have the PathFinder option “Set Path Finder as the default file viewer” enabled. Any suggestions? Using Leech 2.0.3 (2048)
