DownThemAll! (DTA) is a free software download manager browser extension. DTA can download all or some linked files, images, or embedded objects associated with a webpage. It can pause, resume, or restart downloads.[5][6][7][8][9]
As with any download manager, the main feature of DTA is multi-part downloading. This allows the user to download the file in pieces, then combine the pieces after a completed download. This increases the download speed when connected to a slow server.[5] It has Metalink support, which allows multiple URLs for each file to be used, along with checksums and other information about the content.[5] Multi-part downloading- also referred to as segmented downloading - is no longer possible with the migration to webextension.[10] Other features no longer supported as a web extension are checksum/hash verification, metalinks, and mirror sources.
When extracting links from a page, the user may choose to download only specific files (for example: all PDFs) using wildcard or regular expression inclusive filters.[5]
All DTA versions below 4.0 are incompatible with Firefox 57 or above (Quantum). DTA 4.0 moved the codebase from XUL to WebExtensions.[11] The first 4.0 beta version was released August 21, 2019.[12] On September 1, 2019, DownThemAll! 4.0 was released, supporting Quantum.[13] On September 8, 2019, DownThemAll! 4.0.9 was released for Chrome and Opera add-ons.[14][15]
DownThemAll! was reviewed by Lifehacker,[16] Wired,[17] Spiegel Online,[18] Tucows.[19]
