Safari Download Manager is out!

Author: Dustin Howett // Category: Apps

Safari Download Manager (SDM), a $2.00 (USD) extension to Mobile Safari, was released in the Cydia Store today.

UPDATE: Make sure you have the latest version! We’ve fixed some particularly annoying bugs. As always, the changelog is here.

This extension brings a full download manager to Safari, complete with running and controlling multiple downloads, accessible via a new toolbar item. This is an improvement on other existing extensions that take over the currently displayed document to display status information, hindering your navigation. Safari Download Manager (SDM) allows you to continue browsing while downloads are taking place (and can even download in the background, as Safari will not exit if there are any pages loaded).

Users can configure filetypes to download and add their own extensions and mimetypes to the download list.

Safari Download Manager was written by Youssef Francis and Dustin Howett.

Ruben Says:
do we have to uninstall the other extension first?
ben Says:
why are they using library/downloads instead of MEDIA/DOWNLOADS? logical? i dont think so…
Fabian Says:
You can’t even playback the files you downloaded.?
francis Says:
@ben : because this is a Safari extension and safari is sandboxed into ~/Library – our first choice was ~/Media/Downloads but that just isn’t possible if you’re running within Safari.
@Fabian : we decided not to reinvent the wheel and embed an entire document browser/reader inside Safari – we recommend iFile or Docs (which are free) for viewing the files you downloaded – does your desktop browser open zip files or word documents for you? :P

is this a mobile substrate addon?
francis Says:
yep
francis Says:
@fabian by the way if you didn’t notice my tweet from earlier – once the new iFile hits cydia, you’ll be able to launch downloaded files directly in iFile from safari by tapping them. I’ve spoken to the iFile developer and this update is hitting very soon, so keep a lookout for it!
Ruben Says:
any answer for this??
Darren Says:
I hope you can make this work in gmail, thanks!
Darren Says:
edit: in gmail, it does not override built-in quicktime player to prompt media (eg. mp3) downloads but instead opens the file
francis Says:
Ah that’s because it’s trying to load it in a new window – ya expect this to be fixed in tomorrow’s update
poison Says:
this is awesome!! can we remove Safari download plug in when we have this installed?
In other words, can we use this as a replacement for the Safari Download plugin?
poison Says:
can you add support to dtunes? and also see about adding an option to stream or download media files like mp3s and video files?
awesome app!
Justin Says:
Can anyone tell me what kinda ram this eats up? (I’m trying to minimize the amount of mobile substrate add-ons)
Thanks
poison Says:
I haven’t noticed it taking a lot at all. I still have 140-170 MB free on my 3GS and I have 9 mobile substrate extensions.
Phone is still really quick.
iChopPryde Says:
This is an awesome app definitely worth the download still some bugs I notice when trying to download some stuff when opening a new page it doesn’t work right and when using a website like mp3raid.com and trying to get music via that site doesn’t work.
I also hope better integration between the download plug in and this can work better together or if there is a way to eliminate the plug in if this will do everything the plug in does (needs to work with dtunes and installous)
Other then that I absolutely love where this is going :)
Boot Says:
This app is WELL worth the $2, my goodness guys!! I can finally grab my mp3 files now, loving this thing!!
duluen Says:
great app! thanks for the hard work. Finally an elegant native download manager.
robyn Says:
Pay for this?? Yeah right get a grip. If it’s not free we don’t mess with it, get it together developers and go get your cash from ads.
mark Says:
Why don’t you develop something and let us decide if your work is worthless or not huh?
Yeah, didn’t think so. Go back to your video games in mom’s basement.
Slevin Says:
How do you use this app? I paid for it, but I doesn’t tell you how to work it. Plus now I have a badge number beside safari. How do you bring up the download manager screen? Email me at dbd148@live.com plz!!
Dustin Howett Says:
And then you’ll all complain that everything is becoming adware. I’m genuinely sorry you’re not able to see value in software.
Darren Says:
Thanks for quick reply, looking forward to this :D
seanG Says:
It works the same as if you were downloading files to your PC. There’s a nice button in mobile safari right in between bookmarks and tabs to open the manager. :) :)
Sreekanth Says:
No, you do not have to. But you might want to turn it off using SB setting toogle.
Sreekanth Says:
You can playback using any other player like Dtunes, VLCplayerforIphone etc
Sreekanth Says:
I don’t think it eats up any RAM. I uses RAM only when it is active but not otherwise. I haven’t checked this yet but you can check it using memtool.
Sreekanth Says:
I am not sure why everybody is expecting everything for free these days. If you don’t think it worth your money then don’t buy it but never demand for someothers work for free.
Sreekanth Says:
Yeah. It took me also couple of minutes to figure out on how this works. It would be nice if you can write up something in more info page on how to use it.
I think this app is headed in the right direction though there are few issues to be addressed.
1) Needs the ability to restart interrupted downloads
2) Download manager does not download the files completely but the UI shows that the download is complete. This happened when I was downloading 2 files each about the size of 400 MB.
3) Badge on Safari doesn’t go off even after I cancel all the downloads
4) Touch sensivity of download icon in Safari is very weak. It takes multiple touches to open it.
Keegan Says:
Can you please add an option to open the downloaded file in safari I got a text file and had to manually open it with file:///, this would help for files safari can read, since you’re already in the app.
iPhone greko Says:
Can we remove/replace the Safari download plugin?
The6uest Says:
Great app! I agree with Sreekanth’s #1 comment though. a resume would be great because my 3G connection is weak sometimes.
madness3881 Says:
is there a way to get a streaming option if u have the dl manager turned on. I have the old safari plugin and with both turned on the new safari dl manager overides the plugin and doesn’t give me an option to stream.
Sreekanth Says:
Adding to the above list of issues I noticed so far.
This is issue #5
I tried downloading a rar file using rapidshare direct link and the download manager prompted me if I would like to download the file even before I put in my credentials or choose the free user option and it starting downloading something and it was stuck after that.
Even if I do cancel for that option, it is not taking me to regular rapidshare webpage. Please fix this as well
