Moodle Downloader is praised for saving time by enabling bulk downloads, organizing files neatly, and providing a simple, reliable experience. Users particularly value its efficiency in handling multiple resources and preventing manual downloads. However, common issues include inability to download files in subfolders or multiple pages, lack of video download support, dependence on English Moodle interface, and occasional functionality problems that may require setting adjustments.

Not sure if this is the latest update bug BUT .. it is not dowloading any files that are in subfolders or in pages in Moodle. I tried selecting and deselecting the (experimental) organize into subfolders box and that doesn't change anything other than having the limited files not organized. Too bad .. ... this essentially renders it useless
