DownThemAll!

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

I've used DownThemAll! for several months now, and have found it overall to be a valuable tool. It simplifies and speeds up downloading lots of files.

There are a few problems that leave it still not ideal, and stop me donating...

1. If I save an image, that's already been displayed in Firefox, DTA downloads it again instead of taking it from the cache. This doubles my used bandwidth, which I have to pay for.

2. A scheduler would make DTA much more useful to me, and others, as we have unlimited use during night-time hours.

3. There seems to be an addition in the latest versions, where a slide-up bar appears at the bottom of Firefox every time a file is queued. This is extremely annoying, to the point that I've almost stopped using DTA and it's caused me to write this review. It causes some websites, for instance DeviantArt, to redraw the page each time this bar appears and disappears. Please, please remove this thing!
