by Firefox user 13732206, 7 years ago开始使用几天了，感觉还可以。现在好多下载插件都需要安装额外的exe，但是这个不需要。多线程的支持很棒，估计也支持断点续传吧。
不过现在遇到一个问题，我的网速受到限制，100kB/S左右，但是有多台PC，需要下载一个将近30G的文件，请问怎么把这个大文件的下载任务分不到多台PC上 ？

多线程和断点续传原理是一样的。如果服务器不支持这个功能，扩展会用单线程下载，暂停图标会变成停止图标。
> 下载任务分到多台PC上
这可能有点困难，扩展现在不支持指定文件的字节范围。合并也是一个问题。我能想到比较简单的办法是，在所有PC上开代理服务器（例如SS），然后主机用代理客户端开负载均衡，用线程数=服务器数下载（前提是PC间有高速连接）。

- Rated 3 out of 5by Kurt, 8 days agoIt works, but... there's no way to use custom download locations, because /Downloads (my default location on Firefox under Debian Linux always is chosen.
That's a bad habit, because very often I use custom storage locations like USB HD's and especially bigger downloads put a high load unnecessarily on my SSD, which otherwise could be re-assigned completely.
Furthermore this AddOn seems to be dead, as there was no update since 2 full years... and there are numerous open tickets visible.
To clarify: I will re-edit this review in _ a n y _ case (dead or alive) and will downgrade it in case of a dead project and no response, so that it becomes at least obvious, that one should consider to remove this more and more function-wise dying thing from Firefox. - Rated 5 out of 5by Grant, a month agoExcellent! It would be even better with an icon for the new Firefox sidebar :)

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13202285, 8 months agoThis add-on supercharges Firefox's built-in download manager by enabling multi-threading support. With no additional software required and a robust set of options, this add-on is fantastic. Thanks to the developer!
- Rated 4 out of 5by turgut kalfaoglu, a year agoIt's good but fails for very large files, ie 20GB or more. After the download, firefox starts saving it, but it gets stuck halfway.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18269807, a year agoA great extension - well thought out and functional! Very low CPU load - well done!
It's a pity that it asks about the location of the files at the end, instead of at the beginning of the download, but this limitation results from the limitations of Firefox itself, as I guess (removal of the "IDBMutableFile" functionality in Firefox version 75). - Rated 5 out of 5by Emre, a year ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by COOLak, 2 years agoThe choice of download folder is a joke. It still downloads the file to the browser cache directory and then it just moves it to the user-selected folder. In other words, trash.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Footmen, 2 years agoI think you should update your addon, it is getting a few bugs with newer Firefox, thanks.
