DownThemAll! is widely praised for its bulk downloading capabilities, reliability, and ease of use. Users have depended on it for years, often supporting it financially. However, multiple reviews highlight concerns about its potential discontinuation due to Chrome's changing extension requirements. Common drawbacks include minor usability issues like lack of context menu control and bugs with download queue management. Despite these, many users highly value the extension and hope for continued support or compatible alternatives. Pros
- Highly effective for downloading multiple files in bulk, including PDFs and large batches from sites.
- Long-term, trusted by users who find it essential and have supported it financially.
- Automatic sequencing for files with the same name, especially useful on Chrome browsers.
- Still functional and reliable as of early 2024, fulfilling users' download management needs.
- Simple to use with available instructional resources, facilitating quick downloads even for large numbers of files.
Cons
- Potential imminent discontinuation due to Chrome's updated extension best practices policies, causing uncertainty about future support.
- No ability to disable the extension from the context menu when selecting text, which some users find inconvenient.
- Some bugs reported such as issues with concurrent downloads settings and loading manager with very large download queues.
- Lack of skip functionality for duplicate files during downloads.
- No desktop version available, limiting usability to browser-based downloads.

| 2025-03-18 |  | | en | Best download extension |
| 2025-03-09 |  | | en | still lovely, not sure why chrome wants to remove it, but if you have it keep it, never let this go. |
| 2025-03-03 |  | | en | Excellent! Does what I need (mostly): to download PDF's off of sites. Recommended. |
| 2025-02-19 |  | | en | I've used this extension for years and supported it financially because it's been so useful to me. I've been transitioning more and more to Firefox because Chrome's data harvesting is getting to monopolistic. Happy to see DownThemAll is still supported on Firefox. Just cements my resolve to stop using Chrome. *IF* Chrome made specific claims, other than just "best practices" aren't being followed, I'd be more inclined to give them another chance. Vague claims make me suspicious about ulterior motives. |
| 2025-02-19 |  | | en | I have downloaded thousands and thousands of files thanks to this. Great extention!! |
| 2025-02-10 |  | | en | This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions. Don't let this die! Yes, I have supported this program! $$$ |
| 2025-02-05 |  | | en | this app is very useful. please continue support it. |
| 2025-01-29 |  | | ja | Chrome系のブラウザで同一ネームダウンロード時の自動連番機能が無くなってたから助かった。 |
