I do not understand some of the negative reviews for DTA, especially the one that said you cannot delete all previous downloads from the list. There are at least two easy ways to do this. One lets you select all and delete selected. The other automatically deletes all downloads when you close the DTA manager. You need to enter options or setup to select the second. The previous reviewer needs to look more carefully.I've been using DTA for years.

As for the "UI' criticisms, asking DTA to follow deeper links to find specific types of files, is not a UI issue. It's a request to add a web crawler to DTA which is significant new and complex functionality. This is not a criticism of the existing product. DTA certainly is a download manager, even if it does not do what one user wishes.

For single (large) downloads like ISOs, I stick with the Firefox downloader. For high volume downloads I always use DTA. I collect lots of graphics files from public galleries. With DTA I've downloaded 8,000 plus files in a single shot, hands off. This is with the One-click button and "all tabs." I use a graphics search engine to search for the kinds of files I want, and open each result in a new tab; I don't even look at the webpages. I've had hundreds of tabs open at once. Once all pages are open I use One-click. Having DTA continuously download files, as fast as the origin sites allow, while I start reviewing the pictures in a local graphics manager is great. It's hard to imagine having to do this manually again. Looking at dozens to hundreds of web pages and clicking hundreds to thousands of thumbnails is very tedious. DTA handles bad links and other problems automatically. The default number of downloads is four files at a time. You can set this to 1 or as high as 10 (I think). The automatic adding of sequence numbers to duplicate file names is great (depending on your duplicate name choices).

For my purposes at least, DTA is invaluable.
