Safari Download Manager comes to the iPhone 4, iPad, and OS 4.0
Author: Dustin Howett // Category: Apps, Jailbreak, News
The latest release of Safari Download Manager, 1.5, brings SDM up-to-date with all modern iOS devices!
SDM 1.5 works on all OS versions from 3.0 to 4.x, on all existing devices, including the iPad and iPhone 4! Possibly best of all, this upgrade is free to all existing users!
This is a special moment for Safari Download Manager, as this is our first release since SDM’s 1-year anniversary. We decided to make this one extra-special, and put a lot of time and effort into making it the best SDM yet! We hope you agree, please let us know in the comments section below :-)
There is a screenshot of SDM-on-iPad action after the fold. (SFW)
New in this release:
- iPad, iPhone4 support
- iOS4 support
- Ability to select your download destination for each download anywhere inside “/var/mobile”!
- Default download directory changed to ~/Media/Downloads
- Ability to resume almost all downloads
- Ability to configure number of retries
- Ability to configure number of concurrent downloads
- Download list saved across Safari restarts, downloads continue in background and resume on restart if Safari ever closes
- Will not overwrite current files, renames to a non-clashing name (e.g. “File-1.mp3″)
- Ability to download files larger than 2GB
- Tap-n-hold downloading of images to disk
- Various performance improvements, bug fixes, improved stability, better memory management, etc

Hi I have install Safari download manager 1.5 on my iphone 3GS version 3.1.3 but I cannot resume download once the download have failed. It straight away jump to download failed upon resume. In the precious version there is a partial folder which I can go in and delete the partial files and it will download again. Now in version 1.5, I could not find the partial folder. What should I do then?
August 19th, 2010 at 6:43 am
Yeo: I believe the download directory was changed from var/mobile/library/downloads to just var/mobile/downloads so look in there for the file
August 19th, 2010 at 10:49 pm
Tried but can’t find it in var/mobile/media/downloads and var/mobile/library/downloads. Please advise if anyone know

With this latest update of SDM, Safari FREEZES whenever I close and reopen it. To unfreeze it I have to tap an icon in the safari status bar (eg bookmarks icon). I’ve got a 3GS on 3.1.2. Anyone else having this problem?
August 21st, 2010 at 4:40 pm
So please installation download manager thanks
August 21st, 2010 at 9:36 pm
Exact same problem here…
August 22nd, 2010 at 6:36 am
There is a bug with sdm 1.5 on 3.1.2 and 3.1.3.
Several of my freinds on those firmwares have had to remove and reinstall sdm 1.4 in order to fix the bug. I will not install sdm 1.5 till the bug is fixed. For those having the problem unistall sdm 1.5 and google sdm 1.3 or 1.4 sdm deb and you should be able to find and download the deb file and ssh it into the phone install it using ifile. That fixed the issue for my freinds. Cydia will show an update for sdm 1.5 so do not update. The other fix is to upgrade to 4.0 or 4.0.1, there is no issue with those firmwares.

I have the same problem with my 3gs on 3.1.2 and I hate to say it has been getting worse. Now when I try and add a bookmark the screen orientation is the opposite of how i’m holding it. This leads to not being able to see the whole keyboard to rename the bookmark. I have to uninstall sandcastle which uninstalls SDM to work in safari then reinstall it when I need to download something. Please fix this bug!!!!!
August 29th, 2010 at 2:33 am
Thanks for the info!! Back to the tried and true 1.4 version and life is good again.
August 29th, 2010 at 10:47 am
uninstalled sdm 1.5 on iPad 3.2.1, re-installed 1.4 and Cydia shows it’s there, but still no change, tap&hold in Safari doesn’t add anything, no download option ?!
August 29th, 2010 at 3:07 pm
Me too, 3GS. 3.1.3 Bringing up d/l list clears the “freeze”

Installation of the safari download manager went fine. But after downloading a movie the only option I get when I click on the link is “delete” or “cancel”. I do not see no other option. Please help!
September 11th, 2010 at 2:02 pm

There is a problem on iOS 4.1, when viewing a movie file instead of downloading it, after the movie plays safari freezes. only way to in freeR it is to click on something like he bookmarks button.
Sdm 1.5, iOS 4.1, iPhone 4
October 19th, 2010 at 11:08 pm
I had the same problem with my iphone 4. I installed sdm 1.5 and every time I tried to play a video Safari would freeze. In the SBSettings Addons I found the safari download toggle. It has worked like a charm. I only turn SDM on when I want to actually download something and the rest of the time I just leave it off. I know it sounds like a pain in the ass, but until they fix the bug I haven’t found an easier solution. If you know of one please let me know.

October 26th, 2010 at 9:49 am
Hey I ve found a problem with the latest 1.5.1, when you choose to download a file it makes two copies sometimes it puts one in the /media/downloads folder and the other in the /var/mobile folder anyone else experience this I’m on iOS 4.1 jb through limerain
October 31st, 2010 at 8:48 am
Harry, I’ve noticed the same thing happening to me
also I’ve noticed that you can’t turn it off
the off switch doesn’t do anything
you can still use it as if it’s on
i’ve even tried to turn off all the file extensions
and i’m still able to download anything
October 31st, 2010 at 11:31 am
Same, except everything in safari freezes for me. I have to exit safari and close it from the task switcher for it to work again. Very annoying.

So….
Im new to iPhone and frequently disappointed these days. Are you guys saying I need to jailbreak the phone JUST TO SAVE A FREAKING FILE???
This phone feels like going a year or two back in time (though it is pretty). Hope iOS 5 restores it back to present time.

i have 3gs with ios 5.0.1
the most recent version of safari downloader caused safari to crash upon initiating the app.
i reviewed several threads on other boards and tried ssh into the phone to check the “group” for safari in library, cache, and in media
to check if it was user or wireless, all ok.
other options sugested were a full restore an try again. i thought that was riduculous.
i uninstalled downloader and safari works fine again. not for this ios . no problem.
Is there a need for this under ios 5?
