What’s new in version 0.831?
This is a light and unobtrusive chrome download manager and batch/bulk/mass downloader.
Good for:
Assist the user in batch downloading various resources from the web:
● extract from the bulk links of web pages only desired ones (advanced filtering system)
● give better names for downloading files using the contextual info available for the corresponding links (name masks system)
● organise downloads by directing them to appropriate custom folders (favorite or automatic folders)
NOT so good for:
● downloading streaming media or embedded videos
● heavily javascripted sites where download links are generated "on the fly" (on user clicks) so my extension cannot see them in advance for objective reasons)
MAIN FEATURES:
● The links may be extracted from active tab / multiple open tabs or from selected text on web pages. Also from the clipboard or a local file or a pattern URL.
● Advanced filtering/mass renaming capabilities using various name masks. Also with user-defined categories for resource filtering.
● For images, there is a special thumbnails grid view where items may be ordered by the size or filtered by width/height.
● Flexible routing system: the user can set Automatic Folders where downloads are automatically directed based on custom rules.
● User-defined Favorite Folders, easily accessible when the user needs a custom download directory.
● Flexible download management, the user can:
a) pause, resume, open downloaded files, etc. (usual features)
b) set server limits or force sequential downloading mode.
● The URL list can be exported using various name masks
Please, note that
● Development is mainly done in Windows, with limited testing in Linux. No testing possibilities on MacOS, sorry.
● Before using, please verify that "Ask where to save each file before downloading" option in Chrome Download Settings is NOT checked. Otherwise, a lot of "Save As" dialog boxes will pop up, defeating the main purpose of this extension (or any other mass downloading chrome extension).

Reviews of simple mass downloader:
The simple task I had was to download a bunch of zip files from a page. However these are not detected or filterable. The only way to do this was to manually work through a huge list of all the page links and individually select each one. So actually slower than right-clicking. Absolute waste of time, for such a simple use case.
Thanks so much, so helpful for mass saving files from a website that i had to individually click open > download... pasted website table into excel, converted buttons to url links then past in to this extension and boom! done and downloading!
Simplicity makes it daily driver at reach of your fingertips and with no extra steps to take, especially no unnecessary steps. However, you can feel amount of thought that went into details that make it extraordinary. It doesn't have bells and whistles that all other download managers do, but it makes you think if having those in are worth the struggle and complexity of the whole deal compared to this one.
