- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13593990, 4 years agoIf there was a way of seeing the result of naming masks before saving (without having to actually click download), or if there were just more renaming masks, or if it accepted regex for instance, this would be a 5star addon. It still doesn't let me fly through tabs bulk downloading 1000s of files like the original did.

- Rated 4 out of 5by unknown, 5 years agoThe version 4.2.3 doesn't honor filenames in Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="...". It would be nice if the files were renamed accordingly.

- Rated 4 out of 5by shagbark, 5 years agoI'm disappointed that it puts everything under Downloads, but Nils says there's no way around that. But my bigger complaint is that it was difficult to figure out how to use it! I kept getting the error "Invalid renaming mask" every time I tried to use it, and there's no documentation anywhere to explain what that means. There is a pulldown menu that says "Mask", but even choosing one of those options usually resulted in "Invalid renaming mask". I did EVENTUALLY figure it out, but it REALLY REALLY NEEDS to be documented.

posted 5 years agoPlease file a an issue, giving examples of what you tried and what you expected it to do, so I can look into improving it, or at least provide more helpful error messages. https://github.com/downthemall/downthemall/issues
However, right now this error message should only appear when you leave the mask field completely empty...
As for the folder, yes, everything needs to be under the Downloads folder, a limitation in WebExtensions, tho subfolders are supported either with the corresponding dropdown, or dynamically with the mask. - Rated 4 out of 5by MadHopsMan, 5 years agoThis is not a dig at the developer but to WebExtenstions in general. Unfortunately, due to limitations, this is missing support for catching download links and limited handling of multi-part downloads. These 2 features were the main reason I used this add-on in the past so unfortunately this doesn't help folks like me. We can always hold out hope that the WebExtensions will be extended to add better support for downloads but I'm not holding my breath. Regardless, this still has it's uses so thanks for the hard work.
- Rated 4 out of 5by 25349023, 5 years agoIs there any way to change the download folder?
I've tried change most settings but it seem not working. - Rated 4 out of 5by Jane_doe, 5 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by GringoTM, 5 years agoFantastico rivedere il miglior download manager in formato estensione per firefox di nuovo in campo, meriterebbe 6 stelle ma ne devo dare 4.
A causa di FIREFOX ed il nuovo sistema che non permette di uscire da quella che e la "Sandbox" e permettere di scegliere dove poter scaricare i file, si e costretti a buttare tutto in Download di Default di Windows.
In attesa di qualche soluzione futuribile per dare la stellina mancante. - Rated 4 out of 5by Alessandro, 5 years agoManca, mi sembra, la possibilità di avere il timestamp del server nei file scaricati.
Gran bel lavoro!
Missing, it seems to me, is the possibility of having the server timestamp in the downloaded files.
Good job! - Rated 4 out of 5by Francisco Simón Saavedra, 5 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Bash, 5 years agoСоглашусь с "whocares" что версия "3.0.8" лучшая на данный момент, всё что после, это уже не тот привычный и быстрый менеджер загрузок...
Вина конечно не разработчика, а новых версий браузера "Quantum" разработчики которого пустили под нож сотни отличных приложений. И чего дабились, как был "Quantum" не поворотливым недоразумением, так и остаётся.
Тоже использую версию 3.0.8 в браузере "FF 56.0.2"

Thanks for council, in an occasion of "SeaMonkey".
Waterfox is set already on one of computers.

posted 5 years agoI cannot recommend using such an outdated version of Firefox. This is not secure.
Apparently people have success running the old DTA 3 on Waterfox or Seamonkey. - Rated 4 out of 5by whocares, 5 years agoEdit: New version 30 september 2019 (4.1.2) : now is good, is improved with new features asked and bug fixes, like the sound and the easy delete shortcut to delete completed downloads, furthermore i see a whole new speed improvements. Thank you.
Now i think you have forgotten a feature: the "Empty the download files list (of downloaded files, green color) when the main window is closed" . ------------------
Old comment:
This is not good as 3.0.8 dta! version in seamonkey, this has limitations, the download window is worse ( WebExtensions limitations i guess ). This has fewer options and features. Try the 3.0.8 version of dta! in seamonkey browser (2.49.5 last version of seamonkey) , it 's the old and best dta! there .
In this new version (4.0.11 ) the download window uses the download system of firefox quantum , try to download many .jpg little/medium files together , 4 files per time, it is too slow and it takes too many resources until almost a browser crash! and has many slowdown even with a fast 4 core cpus and 16gb ram .... THe same situations when you try to cancel or remove all the downloaded files in the log window, i didn't saw an option to remove them automatically and it takes too many resources. there isn't a sound when the download completes either too .. I loved dta! for years but this is new version has many problems, if will not be resolved i 'll continue to use the old version in seamonkey. sorry - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15202832, 5 years ago
