- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15026560, 6 years agoWhen it works its great but it gets confused and goes haywire failing multiple downloads if say the network connection drops out. It does not handle timeouts at all well either. For a batch downloader not to be able to manage the batch in a reasonable way is very poor especially as it registers the downloads as complete when in fact they have failed (but it still carries on failing more and more downloads and registering them as a success if you don't pause it)
Its takes longer sometimes to sort out what has and hasn't downloaded than it would take to do the downloads manually. Today I've done the same batch download 3 times now and its failed each time. Not happy
Beyond that its still in beta so the user interface is poor and unhelpful and the support documentation is not very good.
Pity because it started so well but its not working right now. Has the coder changed something?
PS I've just started it again and its bombed out again. I'm deleting it - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15011586, 6 years agoEstensione molto utile soprattutto se devi scaricare tanti dei file presenti su un qualsiasi sito

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14651125, 6 years agoThis is the absolute best plugin for Firefox I've had the pleasure of using. You could say it's DownThemAll's successor in spirit, as DTA no longer works with Firefox's latest updates; however I think that comparing George's great work to DTA is an offense to how beautiful this plugin is.
Usable, functional, and gets the job *done*. 6/5 stars. - Rated 5 out of 5by Jorge, 6 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14617597, 6 years agoExcellent! Very nice user interface. Intuitive and functional. Good documentation. Looks set to become one of the best and most used add-ons. Thank you George Prec. A feature request - Please add feature to flag files previously downloaded, or rebuild downloaded files list from disk, if download list was cleared, to avoid repeated downloads. And when 'open download folder' is clicked, then open the folder where last download was saved.
