So, what version SHOULD I have? And how to get it working properly?

Or should I just wait and try "Update" again in a day or two?

You need version 0.5.0.
The old versions (0.4.x) were not compatible with the new extension manager in FF 0.9. As such, the "Update" command does nothing for the old versions.

And where does that come from? I tried to use "Update" but no go.

Thanks.

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 Image

*edit* downloaded a 600kb file - started by showing download speed of 200k+ Image

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.

It is broken in the 062404 Branch also.
Went back to using the 6-22-04 Branch and it is fine again.

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!)

got this error, not sure if with the build, or with download manager tweak extension:

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?

Works fine for me, I like it alot better than the original plain one.

This should definitely be built into the future versions of Firefox, at least parts of it...

Keep up the great work!

Great Extension!

Does it support downloading (one file) from multiple sources at once?

0.5.0 doesn't work correctly:

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;"
-------^


I'm using the latest nightly of FF0.9 (it could be that it has something to do with that :-) )
