This IS the Avid L2: Re: [Avid-L2] Firefox tip for downloading many multiple files increasing limit

There's an easier way to do this which does not involve messing with the under-the-hood settings in Firefox. Install the Firefox Add-On called DownThemAll. It offers a very easy to use and customizable download helper which scans the page you're on for downloadable files, allows you to filter on whatever extension you're trying to get, and queues them to download to the folder of your choice. In a few clicks, you can pass all the work to the add-on and have it maximize your bandwidth to download many files at once.

Dennis,

All those settings; That's out of my league . . .

Look, I am not one for spending large amounts of time under the hood tweaking settings. But this one setting is ultra easy to switch, and if you want to download batches from a stock footage or music site, it is very helpful. Try it!

I now say:

Yeah, I figured that out right after I wrote my first message.

After I looked at the result, I've decided that I'm not gonna mess with it. All those settings; That's out of my league . . .
