Review and how it works
by SoftSpecialist
FlashGot was designed to transform your download manager into a plugin for Firefox.
Typically, a download manager includes a "browser plugin" feature, a tiny tool which enables the webbrowser to communicate when a download link is accessed and that it's its turn to manage further. Flashgot goes beyond and adds to Mozilla Firefox a more complex web browser integration similar to the way it was in Internet Explorer.
By using its abilities the users will have on hand a set of appropriate menu objects ("Link" - downloads the link pointed by mouse, "Selection"-get those from the selected text or images and "All"-from the current page) that are useful in assisting to send to the application one or more download links at the same time.
Grab one, a selection or all the links from the page you are visiting at the highest speed, just clicking once and operating with your preferred, trustful external manager. And there are a lot from which you can choose.
Together with its main function, this Firefox browser extension provides also a utility to generate galleries and to collect in a page serial movies and photos spread on various pages, in order to grab them all.
