What's the point of FlashGot (Firfox extension)?
superboyac:
I don't get what FlashGot is for. If you have a download manager installed on your system, what does flashgot do to make it better. It seems to me that it's a manager for download managers. I installed it and I'm trying it with IDM, and i don't see how it makes any difference whether I have it on or not. I don't get it.
CGA:
If you have several managers installed it makes it easy to choose which one you want to use for a particular download (or choose not to use an external download manager at all).
Josh:
Yes, I also dont understand this. I dont see why you would have more than one d/l manager installed anyways.

OK! I can see how it helps for that.

I guess when you need a download manager that has a specific feature, you can switch and use that one, then switch back to your regular manager.

Maybe this would help you? (I admit I don't have a clue about what download managers can do out of the box in Firefox)
