"DownThemAll!" appears to be faster than your standard downloader but the UI and Design is frustrating.

Firstly where's the tree view and organizational structure? Some tabs (Downloading, Completed, Failed) in the non-existent right hand column would be good as-well as the ability to make custom folders / tabs.

Why cant i open the manager as a tab instead of a window in firefox?

There's no Search bar, even the basic Firefox DLM has a search bar.

Lack of technical information, It's great that i can set the "Segments / Threads)" but that's pretty useless if i can't see what it's set to, you could have a row at the bottom with tabs that displays Technical information, Statistics and a Graph.

About the UI there's no button to delete files (from disk), i can only remove them from the list.

You can't set the status bar settings (Name / Progress / Percent / Size / Speed, ect)

When a download fails DTA deletes the part file so you can't continue the download, you have to start all over again.. a waste of time if your downloading large files, some people pay for their internet.. also a waste of their money.

Poor integration, it's a pain to use the DTA file manager when downloading.


If your going to write code think about these things, there's too much code rot in the world.


Besides the criticism there are some things i do like about "DownThemAll!"

1. Simplisity, easy to view
2. The download list style
3. Displays the Download size to 2 decimal places (682.47 MB)
4. Appears to be faster than your standard downloader

Thanks for a great addon, hope you'll be able to keep it maintained.

Small bug report which I'm posting here since https://bugs.downthemall.net/timeline seems spam-ridden and unmaintained.

For some weeks now with Firefox Nightly/Aurora and DTA nightly builds (v3.x) - the DTA manager window cannot be dragged. See possibly related: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1255989#c17

DownThemAll is the best downloader I've used. I'm able to configure more options with this add-on than I am with the others that are compatible with Firefox. For example, when using a download hoster such as NitroFlare, I am able to configure options to keep downloads working smoothly and continuously. I can set up a huge queue of downloads and let it run overnight without any problems.

That said, I hope the developer(s) will work on a version that is WebExtensions-compatible rather than whining about it as on their home page at wwwDOTdownthemallDOTnet. Mozilla has given developers a lot of time to work on it--we're coming up on the one-year anniversary of the announcement that XUL will be deprecated.

I am currently using Firefox 45.2.0 and DownThemAll! 2.0.19.

This extension worked flawlessly up until support for it was pulled from Firefox. The developers created something I grew to depend on and will miss this in the future.

I haven't reviewed the codebase, but from a sheer user perspective, this is a very effective add-on that appears to work exactly as advertised. Kudos to the developers for achieving that, and for licensing the work under the GPL.

Very useful, but somehow it, like all other similar addons, doesn't preserve the modification timestamps on downloaded content; 'Last-Modified' field actually present in the traffic (looked with tcpdump).
