Yeah, I can't get their either

I guess I've been using too much bandwidth. I'll try to make a mirror and post the link.

Anyone know any good free hosting?

I click on the link in your sig:
http://www.extensionsmirror.tk/

And I was directed to an untitled page. Is there an alternative address for it? Thanks.

still works for me although a bit slow.
the tk adress is only a pretty url for the real one: http://members.lycos.nl/mozillafirefox/forums/index.php

Updated the extension on my mirror.
You can view it here: Download Manager Tweak 0.4
Or download it directly from here: Download Manager Tweak 0.4

I have a few nitpicks with the latest version:

- I love the download manager tab, but a nitpick, it would be nice if the tab could have a favicon (im thinking of the same icon as on the toolbar) so its easy to find it between multiple open tabs.

- The options button goes to the normal download options of firefox, i think its better to let the extension open its own settings window...

- In the firefox download options window the two checkboxes for :open the download manager"and "close thye download manager" are greyed out only a fter a short time. so first they are normal and then after a sec (less then a sec), they are greyed out, because they now are handled by the new options dialog. I guess its better if the two checkboxes are greyed out instantly.

This extension makes the firefox Download Manager so much better

And the mirror is incredibly slow today

hope it will be better tommorow, if anyone else wants the extension, and cant wait drop me a line and i will send it

Great idea. I will update it and release a modified version very soon.

Yeah, I knew about this but forgot. I just fixed the problem so its not an issue.

I'll probably release a 0.4.1 version with those two fixes included, hopefully by tomorrow.

<a href="http://fire.prohosting.com/andman42/downloadmgr.html">Download Manager Extension 0.4.1</a>

I just posted a slightly new version with the fixes mentioned above. Incidentally, it seems the site is working again, so you should be able to download it.

Is it possible to have the title of the tab update with the progress of downloads, similar to how the window title is updated with progress info.

Sorry to report but your site only shows the following available for download: " Version 0.3 -- Feb. 23, 2004
downloadmgr_03.xpi "

It is possible, I just haven't implemented it yet. Its a feature that I would like to add in a future version.

The site is working fine for me, maybe you're seeing a cached version. Try reloading the page.
