DownThemAll! - The Ultimate Mass Downloader For Your Browser

DownThemAll! is a Firefox add-on designed for efficient downloading. By selecting, queuing, and sorting your downloads, it offers improved downloading speed. Moreover, it comes with advanced features like renaming masks for automated naming and folder creation, as well as fast-filtering and custom, re-usable filters. It's open-source, free, and void of adware, spyware, or user tracking systems. The add-on is dependent on donations for development and is always looking for translation help to expand accessibility. Note that any bugs should be reported through a bug report for quick response.

Add-on summary

We're finally back!

DownThemAll will help you select, queue, sort and run your downloads faster. It comes with advanced ways to select what links to download, and will remember your previous decisions so that you can queue more downloads with just OneClick!

Advanced users will also like using renaming masks, which let you automatically assign names (and even sub-folders within your downloads folder), fast-filtering or even custom, re-usable filters.

DownThemAll is open-source and free. We spend a lot of time making it, and keep spending a lot of time improving it, and even fixing some problems in Firefox itself so DownThemAll! can work even better. We will never add adware, spyware, user tracking or other nasty stuff. Therefore we rely on your donations exclusively to fund the development.

We are looking for people willing to help translate DownThemAll! to more languages. For a small guide on how to do that, please see our preliminary translation guide. You will get our gratitude, and the gratitude of all the users whose live you improved by bringing DownThemAll! to their language.

Please do NOT report any bugs and issues in the user review section, but file a bug report instead. This is the only way to make sure we actually see it, and it also makes communicating to us/with you a lot easier. Thanks

Please note: Version 4 of DownThemAll! is.a complete rewrite as a WebExtension, as the old add-on system was abandoned and disabled in Firefox. This was mozilla's decision, and there is nothing we can do about it. We are therefore limited to the tools the WebExtensions model provides to us, which sadly makes it impossible to provide some of the advanced features of DownThemAll! Version 3. Furthermore there are some bugs in Firefox that affect DownThemAll! as well, e.g. downloads will always succeed even if the server returns an error, but I fixed this in upcoming Firefox 71. However, we're still able to provide the advanced selection, queuing, file naming options of the old DownThemAll! and a lot more.

I know that this add-on has been rendered useless by the fakes at Mozilla who claim that they are out there to make a better Internet but in reality serve the Big Ad and fight an all-out war against all of us, but still Nils simply gave up and decided to go with the flow and make this add-on useless. Yes, after more than a decade of using this to download tens of 1000s of files, in a restartable, multi-stream manner, with hash checking, to the destination folder of my choice, this new DTA has become useless crap. I am still keeping an instance of PaleMoon with the old DTA, to do the same thing that I used to, and this new version is only good for a trash can. Multi-stream missing - check. Hash function missing - check. Destination is only the Downloads folder - check. To sum it up: useless.
