DownThemAll is still a great add-on but recently one can no longer use it to download rapidshare files (as of 7-12-2010). That is something that should be more openly acknowledged in these forums.

Having been able to successfully use DTA to download these files in the past I was mystified as to why every recent attempt ended in downloading simple .html links instead of the .rar files I was trying to download. In researching the problem I found a forum entry saying that one had to enable 3rd party cookies to solve the issue. That didn't work for me.

Then I found an entry from an official Firefox representative that said it is not a DownThemAll problem but the fact that some download sites now will not allow downloading in pieces.

Well, that may not be a technical bug in DTA, but if one can no longer use DTA for a major downloading institutiion like Rapidshare then that does indeed become a DTA problem because it significantly diminishes the usefulness of DTA.. At least it does for me. If that doesn't meet that definition of a problem then I don't know what does.
