Add-on summary

This extension offers integration with "Download Accelerator Plus (DAP)". By default the toolbar icon is disabled. In this mode, downloads are handled by the internal download manager. Once the extension is enabled from the toolbar button (when the icon is colorful), then an observer is installed. This observer monitors new downloads and sends requests to Download Accelerator Plus (DAP) and cancels the built-in downloads. It is also possible to use right-click over links option to send links to Download Accelerator Plus (DAP) without installing the download observer.

Doesn't work anymore. Downloaded DAP and everything it asks from another websites (main page is dead) and it simply can't download anything. Well, it "downloads" something, but it's an 1kb version of the file you want, as it starts and finishes at the same time.
