I wrote about Many Tricks’ Leech OS X download manager back in May, but I’ve been using Speed Download for a while and didn’t see a reason to switch over. Leech is a good download manager with a simple, unique UI that I recommend, but it didn’t have any must-have features when I wrote about it.

Today I decided to give Leech another spin since Many Tricks has issued a few new features and fixes since its debut. While I’m not positive I want to switch over yet, I definitely think this searchable History menu that mimics Leopard’s system-wide Help menu search field is a smart feature, and I don’t remember it being in the 1.0 that I wrote about. If you keep Leech hidden or close its window while it’s working, this is certainly an easy way to look through all your downloads without having to reactivate a full window. Smart.
