Installing Speed Download for the first time.
- Make sure that only one copy of Speed Download 5 is on your Mac.
- Make sure that the Speed Download 5 folder is in your ‘Applications’ folder.
- Launch the Speed Download 5 application.
- Enter your registration info (if you’ve registered) by copy/pasting the registration info sent to you directly into Speed Download while being careful not to include any extra spaces or characters. Don’t try to enter the long code manually. The code is encrypted for security and that is why it is so long.
- You will be prompted for your setup type preference. This is where you choose how you would like to use Speed Download 5. With ‘Automatic’, SD 5 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 5 downloads, simply pick ‘Manual’. Under ‘Manual’ mode, files are sent to SD 5 via the contextual menu, or by simply dragging and dropping a file URL onto the Speed Download window, or the Floater.
