I loved this addon, but in the past 6 months or so, maybe half of the downloads fail and give me a "file access error".

No solutions so far. And the partial download disappears, so I have to restart all of the time. With big files, it's become a frustrating addon.

And the only reason I still use it is for the limiting of the download speed. IT IS BAFFLING that firefox does not have a simple way to limit the speed of the downloads. In my case, downloading something eats up all the speed and I can't do anything else in meantime. That's when I use downthemall, but now it fails half of the times.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (3.0.8).

This used to be great.

Now every single download has the wrong file name or has no file name and it also creates a file with NO extension.

It's just a blank icon that I am forced to RENAME and add the extension to. With every single file I download!

Also, the "renaming mask" is not the solution here.

I only use Downthemall for it's ability to limit the download speed. So I can keep browsing while downloading stuff.


I've tried to solve this but so far I've found nothing. I will try Flashgot to see if it has a similar functionality without the naming and missing extension bug.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.0.18.1-signed.1-let-fixed).
