FlashGot Mass Downloader (vs FlashGot)

FlashGot Mass Downloader (vs FlashGot)


On AMO "FlashGot" is named FlashGot Mass Downloader.

On flashgot.net "FlashGot" is named FlashGot (& maybe with an exclamation point !).


(Also note that one of the linked external Download Managers is called, "Mass Downloader".)


No big deal (to me), but I know of 1 occasion where it has lead to a little confusion.

(What do I know, but) it's probably to alleviate some of this kind of confusion...
(Note NoScript Security Suite vs NoScript, viewtopic.php?f=8&t=14220 . Possibly same deal.)
*Always* check the changelogs BEFORE updating that important software!
