ilesa Software releases Download Deputy 4.2

Steamboat Springs, Colorado, USA -- 2/13/01 -- ilesa Software today
announced the release of Download Deputy 4.2, its popular Internet download
manager. ilesa's president, Mallory Paine, said today, "We wanted to
publically apologize for using customers' email addresses to enforce the
demo version's limitations and to announce a price drop. Some customers
considered this inappropriate, so I apologize to all of you personally. This
new version should erase your worries." And for those that haven't heard,
Download Deputy's price has been reduced by 20%! For a limited time,
Download Deputy is just $24 instead of the original $30.

What is Download Deputy?

Download Deputy is a convenient utility that manages all of your Internet
downloads. Why have multiple files downloading in many different programs
when one easy-to-use, efficient utility can handle them all? Don't let your
web browsing grind to a halt because of file transfers when Download Deputy
can automatically download everything later.

When surfing the 'net, it's often a pain to take a break while each
interesting utility or application you've found downloads. After all, the
Web is all about instant gratification, and download time is like a speed
bump on the information super highway. Enter Download Deputy! The Deputy
lets you create lists of files you want, then download all the files later.
Avoiding surfing downtime while downloading files is just one of the cool
features Download Deputy provides. All you have to do to add a file to the
download list is copy the link location for the file and paste it into
Download Deputy's URL window. You can then catch the next wave, secure in
the notion that you can download the file later. Once you're finished
surfing, click on Download Deputy's Go button and get yourself some coffee,
pardner. Download Deputy is on the trail of each of the packages you've
selected. If the site you're trying to download from is busy or unavailable,
you can configure Download Deputy to skip that site, retry until it gets
through or retry later.

If your ISP makes you pay different rates for using the Net at different
times, Download Deputy is a big win for you price-wise. Download Deputy is
like telephone software that lets you "automagically" bundle all your long
distance calls in off hours. In this case, you'll recoup the shareware fee
in a few days. Download Deputy isn't a gimpy sidekick such as in a black and
white western. It's a genuine utility that can be your best download friend.
Saddle up!

Download Deputy is $24 USD. A fully function trial version is available for
free from the ilesa Software website and all major
Macintosh shareware ftp sites. Version 4.2 is a $12 upgrade to registered
users of version 3.x.

System Requirements: Any Apple Macintosh or other computer running MacOS
System 8.1 or later, Appearance Manager 1.02, 800k RAM, and 400k disk space.

Features of Download Deputy 4

* Queue-style interface is perfect for power users who love downloading
files.

* You can set the number of simultaneous downloads for each queue. If you
have a slower connection, you might want only one file downloading at a
time. For those of you with faster connections, 10 simultaneous downloads
might be perfect. It's up to you!

* Download Deputy automatically resumes failed or paused downloads.

* Download Deputy can retry a failed or incomplete download as many times as
you choose. You can set the timeout for establishing connections as well as
the delay between retries.

* Unlimited number of queue windows open and/or downloading at the same
time.

* You can schedule each queue window to download whenever you want. If you
prefer to download your files automatically overnight, Download Deputy is
the perfect tool.

* Download Deputy's interface closely mimics the familiar Finder so it's
easy to use.

* For each download queue, you can tell Download Deputy to automatically
perform various post-download tasks, like automatically expanding and
decoding your downloads, disconnecting your PPP connection, launching an
application (or AppleScript), shutting your Macintosh down, or quitting
Download Deputy entirely.

* Download Deputy is brutally efficient; it requires just 800k of RAM and
400k of disk space. ilesa Software is morally opposed to bloatware.




What people are saying about Download Deputy:

"Download Deputy is amazing! With this intuitive interface and all the
features I need, my downloading chores have never been easier. I used to do
my downloading with Internet Explorer. Since Download Deputy, my downloads
are scheduled, organized, and FAST (I regularly now download at over 300k
per second as opposed to maybe 75k/sec with Internet Explorer on my cable
modem)! Nothing else even comes close to Download Deputy."
- Neil Zaza, Calgary, Canada. MP3.com artist and Internet fanatic.


"I can't imagine using the internet without this app. To put it simply,
anyone who isn't using this is wasting their time. Download Deputy's
transfers are faster, and it's the only download tool that consistently
resumes both HTTP and FTP downloads. I'd recommend it to anyone fortunate
enough to use a Mac."
- Eugene Izumo, Brookline, MA. College student.
