    The price is definitely steep. Especially for people who don't live in the Euro zone. But apart from that, the program is wonderful. It's a "fire and forget" type of app. After you set it up, you just leave it running and it downloads all the files, does automatic repairs if a file happens to be corrupt, unrars the set, and can even run any custom command when it finishes. Pure awesomeness.

    The author is forcing you to "donate" €15 if you want to get the latest version which is stupid seen as 0.25 has no working search engines anymore and is basically bug filled and useless.

    Definitely has a lot of options, but it could do with a nicer interface.
