User reviews

Users find DownloadMedia simple and effective for downloading PDF, JPG, and MP3 files, appreciating its open source customization options and retry logic. However, multiple reviews highlight the lack of a proper UI, causing user confusion and crashes when downloading many files at once. File naming issues and limited supported formats also reduce usability. Despite issues, it shows promise as a basic media download tool but needs improvements in interface and reliability.

Pros

Simple and effective, does the job without unnecessary complexity.
Supports downloading multiple media types like PDF, JPG, and MP3.
Open source nature allows users to customize and improve functionality.
Automatically retries failed downloads and manages simultaneous downloads efficiently.
Useful replacement for similar downloading add-ons with basic functionality.

Cons

Lacks user interface elements such as selection mechanism, status updates, and communication.
Can cause many download windows to open at once, potentially crashing the browser on media-heavy pages.
File naming issues, specifically spaces replaced with %20, making filenames unreadable.
Limited file type support and functionality compared to other download managers.
Difficult to set up and deploy, with sometimes inconsistent or non-working download features.

This needs a selection mechanism or something. "DownloadMedia > MP3" opened 250+ download windows and crashed firefox. It might work on pages with less media, but on pages with a lot, it's not very useful.
