Summary
This extension adds a toolbar button to your browser which integrates the well-known FlashGet™ download manager to your browser. There are two modes of operation:
- Right-click menu item to send links, images, and videos to FlashGet.
- Interruption mode: in this mode, the extension interrupts the built-in download manager and send the downloading job to FlashGet download manager (you need to enable this mode by left-clicking the toolbar button first).
Notes:
For the extension to work you need to have FlashGet (1.X like v1.73, or v1.9.6.1073) installed.
FlashGet versions 3.x do not support command-line options and hence are not supported.
For the extension to be able to start FlashGet and communicate with it, a small native client is required. I am using the native integration by @belaviyo (https://github.com/belaviyo/native-client/releases). It is a simple NodeJS open-source native integrator.
