- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15776631, 5 years agoTruly excellent add-on. Really dislike that DTA asks for so many permissions it doesn't seem to need.
As the other reviewer stated, this isn't as intuitive as it could be, but I still give it 5 stars. For example, it took a second to figure out the "Fast Filter" is not a result filter but a selection filter. In other words, it selects according to your filter rather filtering out results that don't match. It's more intuitive to use some kind of selection boxes with a selection box above all results to click on which selects all, or somehow provide a method of using Ctrl+A. Took a second to realize you can just type an asterisk in the box to select all. Still an excellent add-on. Very clean. Very fast. - Rated 5 out of 5by Pandustry, 5 years agoThe best "Download All" type extension, not bloated or overly complicated to use like others. Not as intuitive as it could be, so expect to spend a few minutes figuring it out. But once you do, it's good.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Pablo Medina, 5 years agoA very good extension. The naming mask option is great and useful.
For example to replace '%20' by " ", %2C by "," and %26 by "&" the following naming mask can be used:
${file|replace:/%20/: |replace:/%2C/:,|replace:/%26/:&}.${ext} - Rated 2 out of 5by Clemens Ratte-Polle, 5 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by jd., 5 years agoPretty good and efficient.
As noted by r.koegel, file names containing spaces or "#" (and probably other characters, but these are the two I've come across) are downloaded with "%20" instead of each space, which is somewhat awkward.
If you use Unix, the following script may help you (it sure helped me):
for f in "$@"
do
g=`echo $f | sed -e 's/%20/ /g;s/%23/#/g'`
if [ "$f" != "$g" ]
then
mv "$f" "$g"
fi
done - Rated 4 out of 5by r.koegel, 5 years agoIt's about as good as it gets right now. My only issue is that it apparently can't auto rename %20 and other placeholders to the 'spaces' or other regular characters in filenames. So downloading a file such as "this file.zip" becomes "this%20file.zip"...which is annoying when downloading 1700 text files from a server.
- Rated 5 out of 5by dee, 5 years agoPerfect for me.
Simple interface, even my elderly father can use it to download media from websites.
Way better than all those complicated "powerful" extensions.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Mozzied , 5 years agoIt used to work with Tor browser, but the update to 8.5.4 broke the add-on. It does work properly with my VPN, however.
The issue with Tor is that it never downloads all selected files in all tabs and the number of successful scrapes is random. - Rated 1 out of 5by M.Furkan, 5 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Robert, 5 years agoThe user interface is weird, ugly and confusing. There are many user-friendly alternatives out there. Avoid.
