FlashGot is a free Mozilla/Firefox extension meant to handle single and massive ("all" and "selection") downloads with several external Download Managers. (iGetter and Speed Download 3)
FlashGot turns every supported download manager in a download manager for Firefox!
FlashGot offers also a Build Gallery functionality which helps to synthetize full media galleries in one page, from serial contents originally scattered on several pages, for easy and fast "download all".
This is free software, but if you find it useful, you can help its development with your small donation!
Here are some key features of "FlashGot":
FlashGot Link (contextual menu or Ctrl-F1 or Alt+Click on a link) - downloads through the default download manager the link under the mouse pointer.
FlashGot Selection (menu or Ctrl-F2 or Alt+Click with an active selection) - catches links in hilighted text/images, attempting also pure text to anchors conversion. It performs some "smart" replacement too, like turning "hxxp://" into "http://".
FlashGot All (menu or Ctrl-F3) - grabs all the links found in the current page and dispatches them to the default download manager, which could offer an easy interface* to filter and select the file that will be downloaded in a batch.
built-in filter dialog is provided by every Windows download manager except GetRight. An emulated FlashGot filter dialog will be included in 0.6 release, being needed for GetRight, Linux and Mac OS X users.
FlashGot Tabs (menu or Ctrl-F6) - performs a "FlashGot All" on every tab open in the current window. Notice that this command is hidden by default from the context menu: you can show it using the Menu options.
What's New:
Experimental "Custom Download Manager" support
"FlashGot Tabs" command (hidden in popup by default)
"Compact context menu" option
Option to turn off Download Manager Autodetection
Malay translation (thanks to Ahmad Zhafir)
Minor icon maquillage
Improved GetRight file name and charset guessing
Fixed skipped links with big cookies (e.g. Easynews).
Requirements:
Firefox: 1.0 - 1.0+
