FlashGot Selection with FDM has problem with file exists

Hello,

I've just upgraded to FlashGot 1.2.1.09 on FireFox addon. Now FlashGot Selection opens up Free Download Manager, downloading doesn't work and dialog pops up saying "File already exists...".

I think this problem is due to all the download URL having the same filename. Before FlashGot 1.2.1.09, this worked okay. FDM added the number in parenthesis to the filename like books(1), books(2), etc.

FlashGot Link still works like that -- doing FlashGot Link on the second link would download the file and adds the "(number)" to the new filename.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

This seems a FDM bug, rather than a FlashGot one.
Try Orbit Downloader.

by file name from the caption of the link
For me it works with books(1)....books(999) and so on and the build in downloader (firefox). However as an option I would appreciate if it would be possible to use the caption of the link as a file name e.g. <a href='http://example.com/test.html'>click_me</a> -------> download as click_me.
