Flashgot.exe is quite outdated so I'm not sure how many download managers are detected successfully. Only FlashGot functionality that is currently implemented is downloading with external download manager. Because of the way it is currently detecting downloads there's no guarantee that it will intercept 100% of downloads. The user has to install a native client. There are things that are broken, there are a lot of logs, there is clutter, UI inconsistency etc. The current version is for demonstration only and not a production release. Do you see any major obstacles or any other reasons that I should not invest time and effort in this? Do you think a lot of people are going to use it? So before I spend any more time on this I would like to have some input from you guys to see if it's even worth the try. However this will take a lot of time and effort. could possibly be added to the addon in the future. Other FlashGot functionality like downloading all links and gallery making, etc. The result is Download Grab, an addon that intercepts Firefox's built-in download and lets you choose how you want to download a file. I have used FlashGot.exe from the old FlashGot adddon to communicate with download managers. downloading links with Internet Download Manager).īut I know there are a lot of people out there like me who want FlashGot back, so I decided to go a little bit further and see if I can improve the addon to work with other download managers. I started with FlashGot because it was very handy and ended up with something that was quite satisfying for my needs.

So after recently migrating to it I decided to re-create those essential addons that I couldn't live without. Migrating to Firefox Quantum was very difficult for me because I just couldn't live without some of my addons, including FlashGot. But it will take a lot of time and effort to make so I want to know if people want it or not. It's possible that other FlashGot functionality could also be added to it. TL DR: I'm creating an addon that lets you download links with external download managers.
