Down Them All – Firefox Download Manager Add-On
The inbuilt Firefox download manager is a gem in itself, but recently I came across Down Them All.
Down them all is a Firefox add-on and it is a download manager/accelerator. The website claims up to 400% faster downloads. It’s a bit like download accelerator pro in that it uses up maximum bandwidth when downloading large files.
I used Down Them All to download a few 700mb files, including the Ubuntu operating system from an Optus mirror. The results were excellent: using a 1.5mbps connection, I was averaging about 150kb/sec throughout the download.
I have since used it to download 5gig of data today, and it has saved me plenty of time.
What’s more, it integrates itself, so when you right click and save as, DTA will automatically appear as one of the options. Selecting it will open the download manager.
DTA allows for easy management of your downloads, including: pausing, resuming, limiting, and prioritising your downloads.
DTA can be found via: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/201
