Looks like Softonic is trying to make money off of other people's software by offering "premium downloads" after the fashion of Rapidshare et al.
The official web site is <http://www.blacktree.com/>, but since Quicksilver is no longer maintained by the original developers, the version on their web site is often a release behind. The newest version can always be found at <http://github.com/tiennou/blacktree- alchemy/downloads>. Hope that helps clear things up a bit. :) On Apr 14, 9:24 am, Donna van Wyk <donnajvan...@gmail.com> wrote: > There was an option for $2.99 to download from the "Quicksilver" site listed > in a current book...http://quicksilver.en.softonic.com/mac > I just went back to the website, and it says free.
