You've just copied 20 URLs from a text document, and you want all of them downloaded? No problem — just paste them on Leech's downloads window. You can also just drag URLs to Leech's Dock symbol, which doubles as a status display.

Did you ever wish that you could set a limit for the number of concurrent downloads, so you wouldn't have to wait forever for the first download to complete? Did you ever want to just mark a URL for downloading without starting the download at once? Did you ever wait for a download to complete, just so you can shut down your computer afterwards? If any of these ring a bell, Leech has you covered.

Have you ever tried resuming a disrupted download with your browser after it has crashed? Does that even work? Browsers crash a lot. Most of the time, some off-key media plug-in object is to blame and it's not the browser's fault, but it's still unnerving to have your downloads — especially larger ones — disrupted by a browser crash.
