比IDM好用多了，而且免费，太棒了

As at January 16th 2025, this extension is working very well. Anyone who rates it anything less than 5 or 4 stars, don't know what they are doing. This extension is NOT a download manager, it's purpose is to be a support for Free Download Manager (FDM, which is the actual download manager). So first, install Free Download Manager on your PC just like you would do for any app. Then come here and install this extension too. Now, as you're browsing and you want to download something, the extension serves to transfer that duty from your inbuilt download manager of your browser, to Free Download Manager app you installed on your computer (Useful for big files!). You can also pause the extension anytime you don't want to download using FDM. 5 stars!
