原文如下。

I like the app and picked it up from the forums. What I don’t like about the app is it needs to ring home every time it’s launched else it won’t work, like WTH. I use LuLu firewall and deny all connections except the website I’m downloading from. But with Downie, I HAVE to allow connections to the dev’s domain else it says license isn’t verified (after 2 retries), I don’t know what data they are collecting and posting back home. I can’t sit there monitoring their behavior.

I only want to allow the website I am downloading the video from, that’s it. Other major apps don’t do this home ringing to verify license. Once it’s added and confirmed, its done. Alfred, Keyboard Maestro, Hazel, BetterTouchTool, DaisyDisk, PopClip and countless other do offline license verification. They are top notch apps.

The developer clearly seems kiddish and immature. The moment I find a good Alfred workflow, I’m out! (and it won’t be just because of this thread though)
