Hmmm, yep, I uninstalled it, tried downloading it and installing it again. I had some problems too. Strange, it worked well for me for the last month.

I like the idea of it. It’d be great if someone picked up this software and refined it though.

I will skip this one and will manually download files, because I use a download manager to download all stuff; my connection speed is slow.

As for the updates, I use filehippo update checker (available on filehippo.com). It successfully checks for updates of all your freeware (for all the software that is available on their website).

I got it to install. The installer is just a packed zip.
Extract to a dir and run installer,(SPackInstaller.exe) from inside the extracted dir. Website forum is over run with spam and is of no use at all.

Same problem here. Installation programme is flawed.

Web site is good though.

I tried to install the application but it kept on asking me to close itself so it could continue. Seems like this app could use some work. The website itself is a good reference source for Freeware programs.
