Download with FlashGet: Firefox Add-on for Enhanced Downloads

'Download with FlashGet' is a Firefox add-on that delivers enhanced download manageability. Upon activation, it interrupts the built-in download mechanism in favor of the FlashGet Download Manager. Right-clicking directly over links enables initiation of FlashGet for download tasks. However, the successful operation of the add-on requires the support of FlashGet version 1.7 or 1.9 and a specific small native client to ensure smooth communication.
