Reviews of multi-file downloader:
It's good, and it's even better if we can specify the download location.
Awesome!
VERY useful, does exactly what it says. Finds the files being linked n a webpage and lets you download them without having to click on each one. Doesnt zip them up, you have to do that later ;)
Needs a lot of updating before this can become a 5 star again. Random behavior on websites. Especially on websites with credentials. And lots of other random weird bugs...
love it
this extension saved me a lot of time
cant download by links, on facebook and most social media, it will only download low quality thumbnail instead of the view full size image, a waste of time
sucks. doesnt read or download videos.
Unusable. On Linux, every time you bring up the menu on a page with a hundred links (I was testing with public domain sound effect files) or so, it hangs and pegs out one of the CPU cores for about 30 seconds (on a blazing fast 24-core system). It hangs and pegs a CPU again anytime you try to do something in the UI. I gave up on it before downloading a single file.
And here i was downloading single files not realizing there is such an awesome extension for multi-downloads 5/5.
No "Download all" option. I had 23 mp3 files to download. The extension found them but I had to go through the save dialog for each one even though the show save dialog was unchecked. I might as well have just right-clicked and saved each one from the webpage.
good
Can you PLEASE make the interface smaller? Items not fitting on screen. Still, you just saved me HOURS of work and now I won't have any aches from clicking!! Thank you
web download very quickly
Not as easy to set up as DownloadThemAll, but worked ok the first day. Recognized all of the pdf files I needed to download from a web page and allowed me to filter for them and allowed me to use the link text name to name the file. Did not recognize 1 or 2 of the linked pdf files. Good Enough. Day 2- Same website and same set up: None of that worked. Did not recognize any of the links as PDF files, did not download the PDF file- but some html instead- and did not name it with the link text. Day 3... Day 4... Still same website and set up... but not recognizing the files. The site hasn't changed how it sets up it's pages and links to files, but no pdfs recognized. Basically hasn't worked the same since Day 1.
Astounding you just erased 30 % of my download clicks in my office. Works absolutely great!!
Didn't download all the files.
Worked smoothly. I like that it allows me to create a separate folder in the Downloads Folder. Quick and easy to use.
Wow, really convenient way to download a lot of stuffs in one go! Kudos to the developers!
Brilliant, simple, works perfectly. BUT: Make sure to right click on it, select "Manage Extensions", then find it in your extensions and click on the "Details" button. Then click the slider to "Enable access to file URLs". Does exactly what it says on the proverbial tin.
I was unable to use the Folder option for saving. This may be due to me using a non-standard download folder in Chrome on my D: drive. But I tried even leaving the Folder field blank and it wouldn't download. The only option was to use the "Use Default Filename" option and click through each of the Save As dialogs (which kinda defeats the purpose a bit). Unfortunately there were no error messages of any kind when I clicked the Download All button, so wasn't really possible to do any kind of troubleshooting on the issue.
For those who have the problem that it "doesn't do anything" there is one more step you need to complete. At the Green Down Arrow at the top right of your screen (which is your select tool for initiating the Multi-file Downloader) right-click and select "Manage Extensions". On the page that opens after selecting this, scroll down the page until you see "Allow access to file URLs". Turn on the button to the right of the statement. It should turn blue. Now you should see some action.
Does exactly what it should, easy to use, thanks for the great utility!
Fails to identify all links on a page.
Never have I seen download spam of this magnitude 10/10 Banana's, would be spammed again.
Amazing. For a while (using a newly installed computer OS and newer Chromer) I thought this was gone, but no. I suspect if they tweaked their name or description they'd get more hits. When i searched for "Multiple downloads" this did not come up. For the users who can't get it to work: when i had an older browser, this also did not work UNLESS I checked "notify me when finished" or "use default filename", so try that.
wow..it works very well..thankyou
holy dogshit never in my life has it ever been that easy to download full sized files from 4chan without all the thumbnails. truly an amazing piece of software
A Superb effort. I used this to download multiple files and Pdfs. This extension has really made me more productive. If I Published a must-add add-on list for Chrome Extensions, Multi-File Downloader would surely be on it.
Out of all of the extensions that allow multiple files to be downloaded, I found this one to be the most helpful in terms of downloading multiple video lectures. The filtering options are great!
window doesn't display entire UI.
only downloader that works for all files..don;t forget to check various option including website links and click update list
It worked well on one site. On another, it sucked. Looking for alternatives.
I tried to download around 40 pdf files on a page. The extension was able to identify almost all of them but did not download the proper files. All files downloaded had random numbers and all of them were downloaded as same size files which were corrupt and not the ones which were given in the links. To add, not even one of them was openable by pdf software. So for me, it didn't work well. I hope that helps the developers to improve their software.
Couldn't find a damned thing.
The only one actually working. Life saver.
Have used several tools of this type. This is the best, by far.
Best auto multi-downloader I've used. Thanks for the great work!
More powerfull then DTA! solved my task of downloading 996 files nice and easy. and did not freeze chrome while doing this too. great tool!
This works!
all killer, no filler
Works as described and expected. UI is easy to use and with options.
Works Well.
THE best multiple files downloader extension. Don't settle for less. Use Multi-File Downloader =) *This ad paid for by Trump*
Works perfectly. Saves me so much time and effort downloading all these post-conference presentations.
I had to download several thousand html and text files from a site, this worked perfectly. No irritating popups, and a nice simple interface. Great!
It works well, and looks good, but there are no instructions on how it works and what the buttons do (blacklist?) update: great, thanks for that update
Simple and convenient!
