Title: The perfect tool for the download addicts Post by: angelyne on 2006 April 01, 17:32:33 Attention all download addicts. I will surely be called an "enabler" for this....
I found this awesome new extension for firefox that makes downloading a snap!. https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=201&application=firefox If you are like me and insist on downloading a picture for every download (and if you are not, you should start, it makes things SO much easier), you know how tiresome right-click, save as, becomes. DownThemAll presents you with two tabs, one for linked files and one for embedded pictures. You can select with a checkmark all zipped files, and/or all picture files. It makes selecting a snap. For some sites, that just link their files, it's a snap to select all the pictures and files in one go. For some other sites, like MTS2, that use java script for their downloads, it's still very useful, because the pictures are just linked and you can download them all with a few clicks, instead of having to click on a picture. wait. wait. wait. Right click, save as....rinse and repeat. And last but certainly not least....it downloads like greased lighting. I'm sold. If this app would cost money, I'd pay for it.

I have the windows slotted next to each other.
It is by far the easiest way to get pics that I have found. Thanks for telling us about this. Title: Re: The perfect tool for the download addicts Post by: sara_dippity on 2006 April 01, 21:00:59 THANKS! THIS IS GREAT!!!!

What do you mean by downloading a picture for every download? Using a picture of what you are downloading as an icon? I'm slow. ???

Oh yeah...I vaguely remember those days, I would start to download something, go off and have something to eat, pat the cat and come back and it would be half way through - [shudders again] :P |
