Speed Up Downloads In Firefox: DownThemAll!

DownThemAll is a free open-source Firefox add-on that speeds up your downloads by splitting the file in multiple parts while downloading it.

It fully integrates into Firefox’s menus and toolbars: in fact it can be accessed by right-clicking on any webpage, from ‘tools menu’, or simply by adding a small handy icon to your toolbar.

DownThemAll is much more than a normal download manager, allowing you to personalize and optimize your downloads.

Here the details:

You can right click any link and download it with increased speed: it splits files into multiple sections, which are downloaded simultaneously, maximizing use of bandwidth, increasing average download speed up to 400%.

You can download ALL of the links that you see on a web-page with a single click: DTA ‘Select links’ window lists every single link, image or embed object contained in a webpage: you simply select the files that you need and you’ll be ready to start.

All files downloaded by DTA can be easily auto-renamed according to your personal needs using specific filters. There are plenty of tags you can use to build destination filenames and directories, including: date and time of download, website URL, link description and more.

You can pause and resume downloads.

It also presents a really detailed preference menu, in which you can set how DTA should treat files with the same name, how many parts a file should be slit into while downloading, how DTA integrates in Firefox, contemporary downloads allowed, and much more.
