[Review] Safari Download Manager

Following on from my previous review of iFile, i now present to you Safari Download Manager.

SDM is an extension to the Safari.app that brings full download management accessed through a new icon in the Safari toolbar. It allows for full control and downloading of multiple downloads and even continues to run downloads if you have to exit the Safari.app as the app will not shut down fully if there are pages loaded.

It is different to other plug-ins already out there, as it does not hinder the use of Safari during download by displaying status info over the current page, it just tucks them away nicely inside the download section.

You can configure filetypes to download and add your own extensions and mimetypes to the download list, found in the preferences inside the stock Settings.app.

Whats great about this extension is that if you have iFile installed, you are given the option to open your newly saved downloads in iFile, and from there do whatever you want with them.

The app costs just $2 from the Cydia Store which is well worth it. The extension was developed by Dustin Howett and Youssef Francis, two very big players in the jailbroken app community who never let us down when it comes to adding functionality left out by Apple.

We are sure they will continue to astound us with their brilliance in the future.
