2024-10-07 Iantuition Nearly useless - having to first double-click the download in the status bar to open the download, then click "open download" in ANOTHER pop-up window (which often doesn't even come into focus, so the user has to find it) is more time consuming than simply opening the download window and opening the file from there. Uninstalled.

2023-11-08 Herman Blume It's good, and it's really, really close to being perfect. Just wish there was an option to click the downloaded file and automatically open it.
