Hi all,
It was mentioned earlier in this thread that FlashGot supports DownThemAll manager, but I don't see it listed as a auto-detected manager:
http://flashgot.net/features#dms
Does it need to be setup manually?

The main reason I am using DownThemAll is because unlike the built-in Firefox downloader, it detects if the finished download didn't make it intact by displaying Size mismatch or similar message. The Firefox built-in downloader often shows that the download is done even though the downloaded file-size is smaller than it should be.

Do you know of any download managers other than DownThemAll that have this type of verification feature?

And lastly, I would like to be able to use the download manager not only for URLs I can click to download, but also in cases when download has to be started with by clicking a button without a visible URL. Is that possible?

Thank you in advance!

If you've got it installed, it appears in the list of the available download managers for you to choose. No need for manual configuration.

I was using Free Download Manager, but sometimes it seem to freeze on downloading some files.

I replaced it with orbit and no more download freeze.

Does anyone one know if there is a better downloader then orbit ?
