DownThemAll! add-on mozilla

Your first download

Downloading
a file in dTa is fairly easy but also very powerful. If prompted to
open or save a file you may use the DownThemAll! item. This will show a
dialog where you may choose which folder to save the file

along with
some more advanced options.

Using the selection window

The
context menu of a website offers a new DownThemAll! item. Using this
item will show the DownThemAll! selection window, which you can use to
easily select one or more links from a page.

In the selection window you have multiple ways to select which files to download:

• You may check the links you want to download by hand


• You may use the build-in or own Filters, e.g. to download all linked images


• Additionally you may type in your own filter in the Fast filtering box, for example *.pdf,*.doc or even a regular expression

The selection window contains two tabs, for two different types of downloads:

1. The Links tab containing all downloadable links found on the page


2. And the Pictures and Media tab containing all pictures and other media as shown on the page

Full-size images are often only linked from gallery pages, hence you'll find them in the Links tab

Once you selected the files to download hit either Start! or Add paused.

DownThemAll! OneClick

Once you made your initial download another item will be
available: DownThemAll! OneClick. You may use this to download directly
using the previous settings skipping the download adding and/or
selection dialog.


Hence OneClick enables you to rapidly queue a lot of links.

Please note: After using the Clear Recent
History feature in Firefox the OneClick feature won't be available until
you start a regular DownThemAll! download again.

Downloading Batches

A
lot of users want to download batches of sequentially numbered files.
DownThemAll! lets you specify batches quite easily as the video shows.


The basic syntax is: [start:end] or [start:end:step] where both start and end may either be a number or a simple character. step defines the step width and is simply 1 if omitted.

For example if you'd like to download pictures from 001 to 100 you may change the URL to: http://example.org/[001:100].jpg
