DownThemAll!

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Lately, DTA has been acting up randomly, in that it would download a portion of a file I selected (sometimes even very close to 100% of it), and then the progress percentage suddenly becomes "NaN", and the download resets! As in, it starts downloading from 0% again, and it's usually accompanied by the number of segments getting dropped from my default of 5, to 1. This is highly frustrating, because having to download stuff more than once wastes my time and bandwidth.

This used to be a very rare occurrence, but now it seems to happen once or twice a day with files big or small. It's gotten to a point that I don't fully trust DTA anymore for downloads above 100 MB. I now use an external download manager/accelerator that's so far proving a lot more stable with bigger downloads.

I've been a user of DTA since like 2007 or 2008. Maybe it's Firefox's various changes lately that are affecting the addon, or who knows. But, DTA just doesn't seem the same dependable addon I've been using for years.
