- Rated 5 out of 5by waifu, 5 years agoNice and simple addon for downloading a list of files from a web page. I do feel like it can be improved by adding these simple features:
1. an ability to select a range of the filtered url list (the current shift click on a checkbox is unreliable)
2. save filter expression as preset (or at least show me some recently used ones). Having to write it every single time is annoying - Rated 5 out of 5by 雷武龍, 5 years ago非常棒的批量網頁資源下載工具,可以通過過濾器得到你想要下載的網頁資源,然後批量下載,比如圖片什麼的,甚至還能通過自定義序號規則批量下載.不過貌似有些網站開始屏蔽這種批量下載行為..

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13939444, 5 years agoFinds all the media but the download panel is 100% nonfunctional. Total waste of time, at least on Mac.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 5967497, 5 years agoAn excellent little add-on that does what I need it to do. I have only one suggestion so far. I had the occasion to need to pause the download of a large list of files recently. The pause button worked perfectly. Only issue I had was trying to get the list to start downloading again. I eventually did figure it out, but to me it was not at all intuitive.
I think there should be a button located next to pause to "resume all" or maybe change the pause button to a "resume all" button. I initially just clicked the "start selected", assuming that it meant that everything in the download list is what would be considered "selected". When nothing happened, I started to explore other options. Found I could start individuals by clicking on them. Eventually I found the select all button, then was back in business.
That really is more complicated than it should be. I can see the need for the ability to select certain ones and to just start those when doing the queue method, but after hitting pause, it should be able to resume whatever was downloading prior to pausing. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14692896, 5 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15177242, 5 years agoI like all the features, BUT there's only one caveat -- you can't just automatically download the largest files.
It seems to have the automatic option of stopping the download of a smaller sized (but identically named) file -- except firefox still catches it and creates a duplicate.
Clicking on the largest of duplicate photos is starting to become extremely inconvenient. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15018914, 5 years ago

- Rated 2 out of 5by 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
