Con
Does not quickly close after download completes

It takes 24 seconds before folx will close when a download has completed, and this window pops up and grabs focus interupting whatever it is you're doing. Very intrusive.

Con
Sometimes it doesn't complete the schedule

Con
Sometimes downloads start automatically

Con
Difficult to uninstall browser addons

I use it for batch downloads...I have formatted 300+ URLs and added them via TextEdit services and it downloads them w/o a problem. Does Torrents as well, their customer support service is really good.
