by Firefox user 15026560, 6 years agoWhen it works its great but it gets confused and goes haywire failing multiple downloads if say the network connection drops out. It does not handle timeouts at all well either. For a batch downloader not to be able to manage the batch in a reasonable way is very poor especially as it registers the downloads as complete when in fact they have failed (but it still carries on failing more and more downloads and registering them as a success if you don't pause it)
Its takes longer sometimes to sort out what has and hasn't downloaded than it would take to do the downloads manually. Today I've done the same batch download 3 times now and its failed each time. Not happy
Beyond that its still in beta so the user interface is poor and unhelpful and the support documentation is not very good.
Pity because it started so well but its not working right now. Has the coder changed something?
PS I've just started it again and its bombed out again. I'm deleting it
