796996 2009-07-31 22:15:00 Automatically detect a download is to be initiated in Firefox and intervene the process so that the option to download the file via the manager is available.

FreeDownloadManager used to be able to do that, but ever since Firefox enters its 3.x milestone, it seems that the good o' manager can't do that anymore :(

Cheers :)

Cheers,

Uhm. It's a Firefox extension. I would prefer a standalone program, actually :)

797002 2009-08-01 03:10:00 Why? Blam (54)
797003 2009-08-01 04:37:00 No particular reason. Firefox has a tendency of crashing whenever there are more than 40 tabs loaded at once, and I wouldn't want anything to affect the download Renmoo (66)
797004 2009-08-01 04:50:00 It would just auto pause itself and resume when you re-open. Blam (54)
797005 2009-08-01 08:07:00 You can close FF and it will keep downloading, or even close the tab it's downloading from and it keeps going gary67 (56)
