## Review summary

DownThemAll! is valued for batch-downloading images (often full-size) and features that simplify multi-file downloads, plus useful filters. It is clearly scoped to site-provided files rather than videos. Repeated drawbacks include its inability to grab videos, missing folder-organization and linked-image loading, and occasional reliability or usability problems, with reports of corrupted installs or outdated versions. Overall, strong for image/file downloads with notable feature gaps and maintenance concerns.

### Pros

- Downloads original/full-size images from galleries, not just thumbnails.
- Supports bulk/batch downloads via a 1-Click function or download selection.
- Provides advanced filtering, such as filtering by hyperlink text.
- Clear scope: not intended for downloading videos, which helps set expectations.

### Cons

- Cannot download videos (not designed to fetch YouTube or similar videos), a frequent limitation.
- Lacks organization features like foldering by webpage and loading images from linked URLs.
- Reliability/maintenance concerns: reports of corrupted installations, outdated versions, or non-working status.
- Occasional usability issues or perceived lack of user-friendliness.
