posted 9 years agoActually it is OK to ignore that suggestion. If it is updated or exited while downloading, only about 1 second's progress will be lost. The downloads will resume after the update or the next start of Firefox. This feature is less tested though (I often use this extension but only sometimes exit while downloading), so the suggestion is written.
Now (v0.3) its automatic update is configured to be delayed until browser restart. I do not know any method of detecting Firefox exit without interfering the tabs (limitation of Firefox 57 extension).
The description will be rephrased.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Kurt, a year agoIt works, but... there's no way to use custom download locations, because /Downloads (my default location on Firefox under Debian Linux always is chosen.
That's a bad habit, because very often I use custom storage locations like USB HD's and especially bigger downloads put a high load unnecessarily on my SSD, which otherwise could be re-assigned completely.
Furthermore this AddOn seems to be dead, as there was no update since 2 full years... and there are numerous open tickets visible.
To clarify: I will re-edit this review in _ a n y _ case (dead or alive) and will downgrade it in case of a dead project and no response, so that it becomes at least obvious, that one should consider to remove this more and more function-wise dying thing from Firefox. - Rated 5 out of 5by Grant, a year agoExcellent! It would be even better with an icon for the new Firefox sidebar :)

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13202285, 2 years agoThis add-on supercharges Firefox's built-in download manager by enabling multi-threading support. With no additional software required and a robust set of options, this add-on is fantastic. Thanks to the developer!
- Rated 4 out of 5by turgut kalfaoglu, 2 years agoIt's good but fails for very large files, ie 20GB or more. After the download, firefox starts saving it, but it gets stuck halfway.
