Do you want to download a bunch of PDFs, podcasts, or other files from a website and not right-click-"Save-as" every single one of them? Batch Link Downloader solves this problem for you!

Batch Link Downloader is a DownThemAll! alternative for Chrome.

Go to Chrome Preferences ("chrome://settings/"), "Advanced", and disable "Ask where to save each file before downloading" to avoid popups for every file.

Works, but only gets links from the current page. I use a different extension to grab all links and then filter out the ones I don't need. It creates a separate tab with links but this extension didn't detect any when I tried so I had to go directly to the site for this extension to work. If I could manually paste those links into the list of this extension, it would be perfect.

To those who wrote that there is no "Select All" button; there is a way to do it. In order to do that, do you have to be someone from the DOS era of the early '80s; well I am proud to be from that era, and therefore, I know how to do it even if there is no button that specifically tells you how to SELECT ALL.
