what a pity ! nice but pretty useless UNLESS u introduce QUEING and some means to STOP all transfers *good luck tho !

so far it looks fine, though 2 things i am missing:
- a context menu (right mouse click) entry.
- queuing

maybe not possible.

thanks a lot. :)

This seems like a promising extension, but two options will make it greater :

1) Download option in right click ;

2) Please find a way to download files in same directory without asking every time. Or at least option to download files to new directory or last directory option in right click.

Reply to developer :

1) Yes
2) You're not understanding. I'm saying please find a way to either remember the last folder location without asking for each download instead of downloading to default folder if that setting you're saying is disabled.

Would be better if Excel files could be included in the file types along with pdf, DOC etc...

A response to your reply ... MY BAD .. a subtle user issue.. and program is fine.
I would make it 4.5 stars now.

=== my perceived problem ... but not a problem at all.

I did go to Preferences/Extensions/Custom then selected Media dropdown , chose "Others" and added XLSX . "XLSX" shows up as black in a little box and appears along with all the preset list in the Active Extensions page, but it did not show up anywhere after that to use it/select it.

MY BAD! The problem was that I was making the changes/selections while on a website that was NOT the one with XLSX files. When I added the desired extension on the site with files then "XLSX" came up ...... along with all the others.

This is the most effective add-ons when it comes to downloading stubborn embedded audio on using Firefox. I tried series of add-ons with high recommendations but non was able to do it. I am really happy for this!
My advice is for you to advertise this add-on on many forum because many people don't know that this wonderful stuff exists. Make comments on forums like quora, NAIRALAND, and other sites hosted found on google

Work's fine

I want to congratulate the developer because this extension is highly efficient.
This extension gives you a quick and natural filter for downloads according to the file type.
But, you can not see the name of the files to be downloaded. To see the name of the files to download is useful when downloading PDF files because it allows you selecting by name for the ongoing download. I wish that this feature is available to extract all the potential to this extension.
I join the request for a better interface for downloading to an individual folder.
Congratulations on your extension!

Works perfectly. Also I'm very happy there's an option to add custom file extensions.

I've seen you answered another review that said: "This is a great extension but it must include an option to select one folder to store all the selected links and not need to save file by file." I added Downloadlinks to firefox today. Left 'Do not open file location chooser...' checked, and in my firefox preferences I have 'Always ask where to save files'. But it didn't ask and saved on the default folder.
Great extension, simple and to the point. Thanks! But this download folder thing is the only thing missing.

p.s.: I think you should add an 'About' to the configurations.


Edit: sorry, I couldn't find a way to reply to your reply =) So I'm posting it in my original review. You answered:
"If 'Do not open file location' in unchecked, then the file chooser dialog *may* show up. It's *may* because that setting depends on Firefox setting 'Always ask where to save files'."
And, as I said on my first review: "in my firefox preferences I have 'Always ask where to save files'. But it didn't ask and saved on the default folder. " So, it is not working, either by the extension or because of my browser (plus exotic OS, combination),

I did not ask for the feature, to save only the links, but that sounds nice =) I suggested an 'About' somewher,e because there is nowhere in the extension that you say the name of it: ''Downloadlinks'' (not even in the window title), but that is just me digressing. Thanks again, for your answer.

It's a great plug-in!!

By the way, Could you add a maximum number of downloads at the same time?

If I'm downloading 50 files, I think that doing the job by 5 files at the same time as maximum is better to not be banned by the server.

Anyway, congratulations for this Add-on

Thanks so much for developing, sharing, and updating this add-on, Prabhu! It saves time and hassle having to script something up.

This is a great extension but it must include an option to select one folder to store all the selected links and not need to save file by file.

Thanks for your effort ! I have the same comment as other users: I don't want to specify the location for each individual file. And it always defaults to the same (previously used) download location.

Solves the constraint to download multiple files from links/content of a web page in one go. Love it and very useful.

Finally a working replacement for DownloadThemAll, many thanks! The only feature I miss is being able to specify a download location, it defaults to Downloads but that's really messy at times if the files being downloaded don't have a clean name pattern (like sometimes they'll start with YYYY_MM_DD_NAME, sometimes it's YYYY_NAME_MM or NAME_YYYY_MM etc) and then they end up all over the Downloads folder, so it would be much better to be able to specify a specific folder.
