DownThemAll!

Since the latest version (2.0.18.1) whenever you try to change the "concurrent downloads", "downloads per server" and "max segments per download" they would always go back to the default of 1.

To fix this, use about:config:

extensions.dta.ntask ---- for max concurrent downloads - I use 20 since that is the max in preferences. Now you can always use a higher number in any of the 3 settings and lower it if DTA starts acting funny.

extensions.dta.serverlimit.perserver ---- for max concurrent downloads per server - I use 10

extensions.dta.maxchunks ---- for max segments per download - I use 10

After you do that in about:config when you close/reopen FF and you open the preferences panel it will still look like it's defaulted back to 1,1,1 but I have noticed a HUGE difference even though it says 1,1,1. Try it out and see. It can't hurt to experiment with the settings in about:config. If you don't like it, you can always set it back to the default in about:config.

Good luck.
