Browser extension for downloading .puz/.jpz files from Crossword applets
If you have feature requests / bugs, or want to contribute yourself or hack locally, the source code and issue tracker is available here. I'm planning to add PDF generation, an option to make Downs Only files, and better support for unicode characters when converting to .puz (but you should really use .jpz instead if you can!).

is there any way to find the Puzzle Mania now :(
Go here and either download the Windows or Mac OS X installer --- it should be XWord-macOS.zip or XWord-Windows.exe.

Crossword Scraper updates - now supports NYT!
Support for the Acrostic puzzles at the WSJ. I like these puzzles, but I've found the applet to be extremely slow at responding to text input, which makes it a pain to use. This allows you to download .jpz files which can be solved with XWord or Crossword Nexus.

Love NYT crossword app the death, but struggling financially. Any cheaper ways to get a subscription?
Many apps will also get you a load of other premium quality free crosswords, such as USA Today, Universal, LA Times, etc. The aformentioned alphacross or Xword, just to name two apps.

Downloading New Yorker puzzles (puz/jpz/etc.) -- any ideas?
The New Yorker downloader in XWord is fixed, and I think it's likely that there'll be a new release of the app soon.
What are some alternatives?
