Download Star: Download All Items in a Webpage
"Download Star" is a Firefox Add-on designed to download all files in a webpage that match a specific filter. It integrates seamlessly with the native downloads manager and allows limiting the number of concurrent downloads. It is a replacement to DownThemAll filtering, but without its download manager. Designed with three scraping choices: linked images/media, embedded images/media, and plaintext links. Recent version includes new popup window.
