Simple Mass Downloader - Your Efficient Bulk Download Manager

The 'Simple mass downloader' is a light, unintrusive, Chrome extension explicitly designed to assist users in mass downloading resources from the web. It has advanced features such as filtering links from bulk, renaming downloaded files using contextual data, and automatically directing downloads to appropriate folders. However, the extension isn't ideal for streaming media or sites where the download links are generated on the fly using heavy Javascript.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

This is a light and unobtrusive chrome download manager and batch/bulk/mass downloader.

Good for: Assist the user in batch downloading various resources from the web: ● extract from the bulk links of web pages only desired ones (advanced filtering system) ● give better names for downloading files using the contextual info available for the corresponding links (name masks system) ● organise downloads by directing them to appropriate custom folders (favorite or automatic folders)

NOT so good for: ● downloading streaming media or embedded videos ● heavily javascripted sites where download links are generated "on the fly" (on user clicks) so my extension cannot see them in advance for objective reasons)

MAIN FEATURES:

● The links may be extracted from active tab / multiple open tabs or from selected text on web pages. Also from the clipboard or a local file or a pattern URL.

Works perfect. Need to pre-create the folders if you do not want to download to the default directory. I love being able to filter results with a simple text box. Very useful feature!
