Many times we encounter situations where multiple files need to be downloaded from a web page. For example, user can download all the files in Coursera lessons in one shot. This would save lot of time.

Multiple file downloader facilitates the same. It scans through the web page and displays all the files, which user can download. User can select multiple files and click download. It allows user to customize what file extensions should be downloaded in the web page.The user can also add custom extensions using the options page. User can also decide whether files need to be downloaded to default folder set in Chrome browser or prompt for each file. BENEFITS FOR END USERS

  1. Multi Select files in one go
  2. Customise and also add your own extensions to download KNOWN ISSUE The extension scans for hyperlink across the web page. As per the design of the page, the hyperlink can be a button or image or both. So there are chances that duplicate links can appear on the extension.

Does not work on my Windows 10 system. I have a web page open with nine image files. This extension says there are no downloadable files on the page.

Doesn't work. Gives "There is no downloadable file in this webpage." so there is no point in using this addon.

For those that say "For every file I had to click the checkbox": a "Select All" button is indeed painfully missing; but after you select one you move to right -down corner, then you drag (like in excel) to select more. I could select only files on screen, so I had to repeat for every screen. Tried Shift and Control and End combinations with no succes. Reduce the work from selecting each file (100 times) to groups of files (like 10 times). If you can deal with that and this was your only problem maybe there is some benefit of using this extension. Things get worse: "use Chrome default download location" settings ask you for each file (100 times) instead of asking once for the desired download location then download 100 files there. Ok so extension is unusable if you don't use fixed download folder location... Ignoring this just to go further, finally started download, downloaded a few files then all the rest failed; probably overwhelms the website by opening and not closing 100 connections / requests, so at some point the site denies any new connection. Do something so the website you are downloading from will not believe this is a DOS attach and shut you down! As it is now, this is a useless, annoying extension!
