Lacey (audio and video downloader)

#1 Post by Midas »

Yet another the-sz.com offer, Lacey (http://www.the-sz.com/products/lacey/) is unfortunately not portable as it saves settings to 'HKCU\Software\CompSoft\Lacey'.

A relative path for downloads must be entered manually (e.g., '.\DL\') and I found no way of changing the preset UI language, which defaulted to a mishmash of my computer locale and English. Notwithstanding, Lacey can be a quick and dirty way to find and download free online multimedia content.
