ok, i just downloaded a 12mb file, and i noticed that the problem i noted on the previous page: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... ht=#599856
still exists.
My download speed showed as being 120k when it should be 60k. It them very slowly tried to reach the 60k mark by decreasing slowly.
Is this a problem with the extension or firefox? I don't remember firefox outputting incorrect download speeds
*edit* downloaded a 600kb file - started by showing download speed of 200k+
still exists.

On Linux, Chrome != chrome ;) ;)
Oops. This problem has been fixed.

I don't know what's going on. The problem is not with the extension. In essence, all the extension does is change the look and feel of the built-in Firefox download manager. The actual information it displays (e.g. download progress, transfer speed, download icon, etc.) is the same information as would be displayed normally. So, I don't know what to tell you.

The problem with the incorrect speed being shown is a known bug in FireFox (I am not sure of the bug number though).
What happens, is FireFox starts downloading a file in the background when you are presented with the save window and therefore by the time you have clicked on save and the DM opens some of the file has already been downloaded.
However, FireFox calculates the speed based on the total amount already downloaded based on the time th DM has been open.
If you want to see this problem exagerated, next time you get the save dialogue, wait about 20 seconds before clicking save - FireFox will calculate you are using a T3 connection (if only!)

Has anybody else been having this problem?
Whenever I boot Firefox, the sidebar is open, though nothing is loaded into it. This didn't happen until I had installed the Download Manager Tweak. I've un- and re-installed it, and now when I start the browser, it's open with the download manager shell in it, even though I've told the DM Tweak to use a separate window.
Is there a config/pref setting somewhere that I can change that would take care of this?
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626 Firefox/0.9.1
DM Tweak 0.5.0
Thanks,
Choop.

0.5.0 doesn't work correctly:
for the options dialog
and about the same for the download screen:
I'm using the latest nightly of FF0.9 (it could be that it has something to do with that )
Code: Select all
XML Parsing error: undefined entity
Location: chrome://downloadmgr/content/options/options.xul
Line Number 52, Column 47
<checkbox id="optionsButton" label="&cmd.options.label;"/>
------------------------------------^
for the options dialog
and about the same for the download screen:
Code: Select all
label="&cmd.options.label;" accesskey="&cmd.options.accesskey;"
