This was brilliant, my fav tool for downloading multiple files from a web page - literally has saved me days / weeks of individual clicks to download hundreds / thousands of files. Sad to see that it is no longer supported by Chrome :(

Ricki Burrows, 2025-03-07Fantastic. The UI was a little unintuitive; took me a bit to find the "Scan link text" checkbox and then rescan the page, but that was it.
Very easy to automatically download 123 PDFs with *names from the link text* that all would have been "Document.pdf", "Document (1).pdf", ... otherwise because the stupid website runs all their PDF downloads through a "page" called "Document.pdf" with a random querystring.
I tried two other (and higher rated ?!?!?) extensions - one was *way* more challenging of a UI, and then still didn't work, and the other doesn't have this very essential feature of naming the download based on the link. Then I found this extension; third time's the charm, I suppose.
I am thrilled, thank you so much!
