A modern DownThemAll! alternative
DownThemAll! is a free, open-source download manager and accelerator that can mass-download links and files from a page. MediaGrabber Pro takes a broader approach: one extension that downloads images, video, and audio — in bulk or one click, with a clean interface and local, private downloads. Here’s an honest comparison so you can pick the right one.
