Cons
Con Not free
Con Doesn't work with Google Chrome
Leech only works with Safari and Firefox (possibly similar browsers) with the FlashGot addon properly configured. Some other download managers have extensions that work with all the popular web browsers. Leech only has one extension for Safari.
Con Bad or absent browser and clipboard monitoring, bad interface, limited settings
Cannot get the download link by itself in most cases, and it needs the link to be entered manually (not even clipboard monitoring worked). Changing the theme can make it unusable, settings are very limited compared to concurrent programs.
Con Queue
Schedule does not work
