If there’s one thing that Firefox has always lacked, it’s a decent download manager but FlashGot gives you more power to your favourite browser.
FlashGot is a free Mozilla Firefox (and Thunderbird) extension that ¡s designed for those who do a lot of downloading. It can handle large number of batch downloads with it’s own intuitive download manager. This simple but powerful plugin can even handle batch downloads for many anonymous or redirected download link services such as anonym.to, tinyurl.com, moourl.com, anonymz.com, shorten.ws and tubeurl.com. This most recent version has been updated to support rapidly growing sites such as megaupload.com, rapidshare.com and depositfiles.com.
The one drawback is that this plugin seems to be constantly updated. You’ll find that frequently, when it comes to starting Firefox, FlashGot will prompt you for an update which us a bit annoying but a small price to pay for a great download manager. No more clicking multiple links and “Save as” – FlashGot simply scans the page for downloadable links and then you select which ones you need.
A much needed addition to Firefox although some users may find it an inferior choice to DownThemAll!
