Fixed an issue where Safari, starting from versions 6.1 (OS X 10.8) and 7.0 (OS X 10.9), restricts access to the local file system for Java applets. Now File Downloader displays instructions to end-users explaining how to enable the access.
Added support of new security restrictions introduced in Java 1.7u21. The new security approach made previous versions of File Downloader inoperable unless mixed code security verification is disabled in Java settings.
Cookie support is added; earlier losing authentication cookies could result in "The server returned a wrong size..." error. To set cookies use the Cookie property.
