- Rated 4 out of 5by Gats, 5 years agoPlease add the option of choosing the directory, where it will be kept the current downloading cache.
Now it is not clear where the current download cache is stored (most likely on the system drive, where I use SSD). I do not want to kill the SSD with cache, so I would like to be able to set the path for the cache - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15258814, 6 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15202931, 6 years agoDear author I would appreciate it if you incorporated the download queue into your project.
Also tell him that when I put more than six downloads at once, they start to turn red, by timeout and by network error. Could you tell me how I can fix it?Developer response
posted 6 years ago> download queue
Please set the simultaneous tasks option.
> timeout and by network error
Have you adjusted the configuration "network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server" yet? Also try disabling timeout in the options. - Rated 4 out of 5by Jacquers, 6 years agoThe automatic prompt doesn't work for me. I right click a link and select 'save as' and it just does a normal download. If I go to the extension I can import the normal download. I think this is why some users report it as not working because they think it will work automatically or give the prompt.
Queuing and setting the number of concurrent / active downloads would be nice features to have :)
* FF version 67.0.1Developer response
posted 6 years agoThe "automatic prompt" option needs to be enabled. Then when you left-click a downloadable link, the dialog will show. Also, there is a size limit option default to 1024 KB. If the file size is smaller than that, it will be a normal download.
Queuing can be set in the option "simultaneous download tasks". - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13894512, 6 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Namu, 6 years agoI've tried a few other download managers to replace the ones I used pre-quantum and so far this one is leading the pack by actually doing multithreads and doing so in a clean and easy to read manner. I have yet to experience if it will recover from a connection failure but I expect it should be able to handle it and retry appropriately.

posted 7 years agoFirefox 61.0.2 测试未发现此问题。请尝试在新的配置文件(about:profiles)中运行。另外,如果在about:debugging中启用附加组件调试,调试这个扩展,在控制台页面是否有错误信息?- Rated 4 out of 5by LULILULI, 7 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12955598, 7 years agoI tried to follow all the online guides also that of the author on github but still does not work with written "Cannot access internal storage"
EDIT: I use last ff 60.0.1 on windows 10, I don't use private browsing and I have allowed Manifest URL of addon in exceptions of cookies... but don't work for meDeveloper response
posted 7 years agoWhich system and Firefox version? Are you using "always private browing" mode or other privacy options?
Edit: This is strange. I did not see this error on the same version. Also, the private browsing bug has be fixed in this version of Firefox.
I suggest using a new profile (about:profile).
If you want to debug this extension, please right click the "Add to Firefox" install button and save the link to xpi file. Open about:debugging#addons, check the checkbox, click "load temporary addon", and select this xpi file. Click "Debug" under the temporary loaded extension and then click "reload", to see if there is any error shown in the Console tab. - Rated 4 out of 5by Amit Kulkarni, 7 years agoSeems to work fine. Thanks!
However, with dark GTK theme, the UI elements are not visible (gray text on white background).Developer response
posted 7 years agoMaybe the GTK theme changes the default text color. I will look into it when I get Linux to work on my new machine. Meanwhile as a workaround, try clicking "Custom CSS" in the options and putting in:
html, input, select { color: black; } - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14073724, 7 years agoGreat addon. What I would like to have changed is the moment a file is selected for download to have it immediately pop-up a windows to enter the download location instead of having a window pop-up when the download itself has finished. As I use many different download locations and simultaneous downloads it is hard to keep track if the windows pop-up after the download.
One more thing. When a post-download location window is displayed and the folder does not exist yet I create that particular folder withing that pop-up window. After I click Save a second window pops-up in which I need to select the folder i just created. Can this be done in one go.
I hope the above two can be combined as was the option with DTA where DTA created the folder and saved the files immediately in that folder.Developer response
posted 7 years agoThis is a limitation of the Firefox 57+ extension system. Firefox does not allow extensions to save files to arbitrary locations, and this extension workarounds it by launching the built-in download manager, with the fully downloaded file. Before the task finishes, there is no complete file to give to the built-in download manager, so this workaround cannot be used and there is no way to prompt for the location.
If the location window always pop-ups twice, your browser may be affected by disabling "out of process extensions". See the wiki for details: https://github.com/jingyu9575/multithreaded-download-manager/wiki/Problems-with-disabling-the-feature-%22out-of-process-extensions%22 - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14045375, 7 years ago按照说明 开启了“自动提示下载”选项,但还是做不到接管自带下载器的下载任务,目前还得手动导入任务。有什么解决方法?
2018.6.14 :一个新的问题,下载好文件后重启浏览器,点击打开或者打开文件夹一直提示 文件已被删除,不存在;然而文件还在原来下载的文件夹内,有什么设置可以改变这个情况吗?Developer response
posted 7 years ago是所有的链接都无法提示,还是只有一部分?默认情况下,扩展不会接管小于1MB,或文本图片等可以在浏览器中直接预览的类型,或服务器不支持的下载。
Edit: 已知问题(https://github.com/jingyu9575/multithreaded-download-manager/issues/5 ,英文)。重启浏览器后,扩展无法获取前一次的内置下载项目。是火狐的这个问题:https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1255507 (英文) - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13345915, 7 years ago还行,就是预分配空间时没必要真的写入,另外,编辑按钮目前不能用
更新:多线程下载某个网站视频时老中断,最终文件播放不正常,单线程正常。顺便有时下载完只能再复制一遍不能避免,但下载过程中怎么也一直读磁盘?Developer response
posted 7 years ago如果不在预分配空间时写入,下载后面段的时候也自动将前面的空白填满,导致界面卡死,无法暂停、删除任务。我再想想有没有其他办法。
目前只能在暂停时编辑。 - Rated 4 out of 5by Raynor, 7 years agoUI could use a little polishing, but it works to accelerate my downloads, so job well done.

Thanks!Developer response
posted 7 years agoI'd like to know more details for improving. What's the download speeds of Firefox/Downthemall/this extension? Are you seeing very high CPU/disk usage?
Edit:
Can you provide a link? I can get 1MByte/s (my maximum bandwidth now) on httpd.apache.org.
