Downthemall replacement? #24

I just want to make you aware that right now your project is being recommended as a replacement to http://www.downthemall.net/ in the Firefox legacy extensions page (within the browser's options; about:addons last option).

From installing bulk-media-downloader addon and looking at its functionality, it doesn't seem you're solving the same problem that downthemall solves.

Perhaps you can consider adding a comment in the description Firefox links to stating you're not exactly the same as downthemall, or perhaps take this as an opportunity to do some scope creeping and actually adopt downthemall functionality.

Cheers!

I agree. If you could adopt the AntiContainer functionality of DownThemAll!, which allows the user to download resources that are normally hidden behind container pages, that would be great. I can find no other downloader extension that does this.
