I just tried Mac OS X Sierra 10.12.6 with Firefox 52 ESR and Flashgot 1.5.6.14

When I choose as download manager cURL (both in Flashgot Media and General tabs) the download proceeds immediately without opening any terminal window, but in the background.

In my Linux box it does open a terminal window and so was it doing versions before in my OSX Snow Leopard with older versions of Firefox.

I want to be able to check the download speed and size of the video. The first, because, if it stalls or is too slow, I might want to try it later or check my connection instead of assuming it's working ok and move away from a wifi connection before it finishes downloading; the second, because sometimes I may mistakenly choose the wrong file and start download one that is too big for my needs.

Do I need to tweak some settings to see again that terminal window?

Thanks

That sounds like operating system behavior unrelated to FlashGot.

Thanks for your reply.

Possibly, but that's what I'm asking. It seems an unwanted behaviour for flashgot. Maybe I need to change some system settings for getting that window back.

Mind you an additional, non-minor problem of this is that using anything but the built-in download manager leaves you without a possibility to stop a download.

Does anybody have at least a positive result, i.e., flashgot working as usual with say curl/wget under OSX Sierra. As mentioned above, by that I mean it opens a terminal window with the details of the ongoing download. This would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
