by Firefox user 13330880, 7 years agoThis thing is a shadow of its former self. I can't even figure out how to get it to save files to a specific location (it wants to put everything in the "Downloads" folder, which I never use)! It also can't do the single most useful thing I used the old one for, which was automatic checksumming of downloaded files. Without that it's not even worth the bandwidth.

DownThemAll lacks the features you're after, understood.
Other people find the other features useful, but not you, OK then.
We're limited by the WebExtensions API and were upfront about it. That means you can only save into the Downloads folder (or subfolders therein) and you cannot have checksums. If you don't like that, fine, I don't like it either, I hate the WebExtensions API, but it is what is is.
But all this doesn't mean you have to come here and express your disappointment in the in the meanest way you could muster.

- Rated 1 out of 5by csg1027, a month agoAwful experience. Terrible documentation and terrible user interface. It took me an hour to figure out what Mask is. The error message when I left it blank said the "Renaming Mask" was invalid. I didn't want to rename the downloaded files! I finally asked Google what the renaming mask was for and it gave me a few of the templates. Then I clicked the little thingy beside the Mask field and a popup had way more info than the Google response, but the left side of the popup is hidden and I can barely tell that there are 2 columns of templates but the left one is totally hidden. I cannot use my mouse to move it over a little bit so I can see the entire popup. My only alternative was to highlight the text in the popup, Ctl-C and write it to Wordpad with Ctl-V. What does the Use Once checkbox mean? I assume it means download the first file that fits the wildcards or regular expressions, but what does it mean if I check only the Mask Use Once box? Abysmal experience with this extension! I had given it 2 stars. I lowered it to 1. Not to mention that typing "DownloadThemAll!" in the mozilla extension manager search bar brings up "2,781 results found for "DownloadThemAll!"" Really?

- Rated 5 out of 5by mjtech, 9 months agoReading the 1-star reviews I think many people are misunderstanding the purpose of this extension. It is designed to provide a way to download multiple files of those which a website owner has provided for download. It is not designed to detect and download things like YouTube videos which the website owner has not enabled for download. If you can't click to download it using normal browser functions (e.g. click or right-click), you can't download it using DTA. That is not what it was made for. There are others that enable that. With that in mind, this extension is very useful to make downloading multiple downloadable files very easy to do. I especially like the download selection feature.
